I can't take a screenshot, because it won't allow me when the switcher stays on top.

Ok some precision : I have this problem only because my shortcuts weren't default one : I put super+arrows.
If I put ctrl+alt+arrows back everything works smoothly.

Any workarounds ? I really would like to keep my old shortcuts !! :-)

Same here. With ctrl+alt+arrows, the switcher disappears automatically. With super+arrows the switcher stays open (though enter or escape will close it).
