Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:

1) open the HUD (press ALT)
2) press the keyboard shortcut to spread the windows in the current workspace (Super+W)
3) repeatedly press that shortcut (Super+W)

Observed behavior: the first time, the windows spread *and* a 'w' appears in the HUD search box. then every other time (only when the windows spread, not when they unspread) another 'w' will appear in the HUD search box.

Expected behavior: nothing appears in the HUD search box and/or the windows do not spread.

I personally don't believe the windows should spread if the HUD is up, or if they do spread the HUD should hide. Either way, that 'w' should not appear in the HUD search box since the Super modifier is active.
