Public bug reported:

I normally map the Super(windows) + arrow keys to move between
workspaces, instead of the default Ctrl + Alt + arrow keys.

I disabled the overlay shortcut that appears when super key is pressed
for a while.

When I then switch workspaces using Super and arrow keys, the switching
occurs and moves to next window, but the viewport switcher previews
remain in the middle of the screen. Looks like the key-release event
also does not get registered, as when this happens, remmina and Oracle
VirtualBox thinks the Super Key is still pressed.

Pressing Esc gets rid of the viewport switcher previews, but applications still thinks Super key is pressed. 
Pressing and releasing the Super Key again then registers a key release so that applications (Remmina,virtualbox) then works fine again. 

This worked fine in 11.10 64bit

Current system:
Ubuntu 12.04 64bit
Fresh Install
