Subject: metacity: Changing workspaces with keys still requires a mouse click.

Package: metacity
Version: 1:2.8.1-3
Severity: important

Using control-alt-left and right arrows, or using alt-tab brings up a
window which requires a mouse click or a significant delay for it to be
hidden again. Despite spending a month trying to like metacity, this
still is slow and annoying. Better would be for the window to
disappear immediately when the keys are released.
