"Show All Open Windows In A Workspace" function Doesn't Work Sometimes

[its_me]

SETUP: My PC runs Ubuntu 11.10 and I set it to load Gnome 3 at startup instead of Unity.

PROBLEM: I don't know what this feature is called - - pressing the Windows or Super button on keyboard shows all open windows in a workspace. This 'Show all windows' function stops working when, at times, I press the Windows/Super button successively, multiple times, in order to switch quickly between different windows.

Mouse-clicking "Activities" in the left-top corner of the screen, of course, shows me all Windows. It works. The problem is, it's the keyboard shortcut that gets stuck and doesn't work as intended unless I restart the PC.

REPRODUCE THE ISSUE: Press the Windows / Super key, switch to a Window, press the key again, switch to another Window and so on., really quickly.

I am also having this issue, just wanted to confirm that this also happens to me, mostly when I am looking at my desktop and no windows are selected, I can't hit the "windows" or super/meta key to open the control panel thing in gnome shell, I have to use my mouse to go the the button in the top left or click on the desktop until the button works.
