Bug Description

Pressing alt-tab to switch to the last window sometimes leaves no window focused.
It may be because I have a slow computer (Celeron at 1.7Ghz) but about 30% of the time when I switch window I end up with no window focused.

I believe it happens if alt is released just before the tab switcher is appearing.
