Bug Description

I have a very high key repeat rate set. This might have a lot to do with this bug.

When I hold down CTRL+ALT and then hold down Left/Right arrow keys to very quickly slide through all the workspaces (I currently have 5x2 workspaces), every fifth time or so all the workspaces will shift rightward. So all my windows that were on workspace 1 are now on workspace 2 and so on. (This happens to each row of workspaces.)

I'm running:
* Ubuntu 11.04.
* gnome-panel:
     Installed: 1:2.32.1-0ubuntu6.5

I don't expect my windows to all changes workspaces on their own. Is there a race condition causing this maybe?

This also happened to me on Lucid and Maverick. Couldn't find any other reports of this bug.
