Public bug reported:

The Super-W keystroke sometimes opens the dash instead of showing all
windows. The behavior seems to depend on how long you hold down the
super key. Tapping + releasing both the super key and w key will open
the dash. Holding down the super key for more than about 0.5sec will
open the spread, no matter how long you hold down the w key.

Oddly I can't reproduce the problem with other super- keystrokes such as
Super-S or Super-T. It only happens with Super-W. A quick tap of Super-S
will reliably open expo mode.

To reproduce:
1) Quickly tap Super-W

Expected results:
The spread opens

Actual results:
The dash opens

I can reproduce this on multiple keyboards from different manufacturers,
so I don't think it's anything unique to the keyboard itself.
