Bug Description

When launching workspace switcher, I sometimes select the workspace I want to use with the arrow keys and try to exit workspace switcher with Super-S (as I already have my fingers on that keys). This works, but the focus is then nowhere (i.e. no window is selected). Selecting the workspace I want and pressing Enter works.

I don't know if this is a bug or a missing feature, but it's quite limiting for a user who navigates primarily through the keyboard.

I'm sure this was something we fixed in 12.04 but can't find the bug right now. Could you please test Ubuntu 12.04?
