Selecting a scaled window with mouse breaks keyboard navigation

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño)]

In unity (or in any compiz context where scale is used, using proper keybindings):

0) Open some windows
1) Hit super+w
2) Move the mouse over a new window to select it
3) Now use one of the arrows key to select a different window

Expected:
4) The new selection should start start from the mouse-selected window

Actual:
4) The new selection uses the previously active window as starting point
