Comment 137 for bug 815996

Ubuntu 14.04 x86, 2gb ram, 1.4ghz intel celeron, fujitsu amilo li2727 laptop ( its old but lovable :p )

For anybody suffering with this I just hit it yet again and recovered from it without needing to do any of the crash or kill techniques described above.

i was trying the ctrl+alt+[arrow keys] and it just switched the work space but i couldnt do anything with the program i was moving that stick across work spaces not close the switcher. so i thought.

ctrl+alt+L is what worked for me, managed to close the switcher properly and then just resized the program window and finished moving it to the work space.

I would say this bug should be fixed by now. but in the mean time, i hope that helps.
