Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

Arrow key presses randomly select windows with no sane pattern.

The expected behavior would be an expo where selections follow a proper grid navigation in which left is left, up is up, etc.

I would like to add, that there isn't even visual feedback which application is currently selected. Can I select a window with the keyboard at all at the moment? Seems very buggy for me at the moment. Ubuntu Precise Beta 2 64 Bit, Unity 5.8.0-0ubuntu2
