Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

After leaving the window picker through use of a hot corner, the
keybinding for 'zoom window' is not returned, and so that key cannot be
used with other programs unless compiz is restarted.

Steps to reproduce:

In the 'scale addons' plugin, set a single key for 'zoom window'. I'll use spacebar as an example.
In simple ccsm, set a hot corner to 'initiate window picker'.
Put your mouse in that corner to initiate the window picker.
Put your mouse in the same corner again to return from the window picker.

Expected behaviour:

spacebar (or whatever key was set) should be able to be used normally
whilst not in the window picker.

Actual behaviour:

After using the window picker, spaces can't be typed anymore. xev
instead registers a press of the spacebar as:

FocusOut event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x5600001,
    mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor

FocusIn event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x5600001,
    mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor

KeymapNotify event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys:  2   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   
           0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0


This problem only occurs when using a hot corner to both enter and exit the window picker. If say super-w is used to enter, and corner to exit, or corner to enter and super-w to exit, or super-w to both enter and exit, the spacebar continues to work normally.

I'm using ubuntu 10.10 64 bit, with compiz 1:0.8.6-0ubuntu9, as listed
by the package manager.
