Title:
  Pressing Alt+<character> in a single cycle triggers HUD, Holding Alt
  then Pressing <character> does not.

Status in “hud” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is triggered mostly for me in Firefox, where I use Alt+D to
  switch to the address bar, however, if I do this in the same "cycle"
  or period of time I'd usually press a single key, then it triggers the
  HUD, but if I consiously press and hold Alt, then press D and release
  both at the same time, it doesn't.

  I've worked around this for now by remapping the HUD (following
  http://ubuntuguide.net/disable-unitys-hud-head-up-display-or-change-
  keyboard-shortcut) however, it would appear that there's no check for
  another key being pressed in the same time window.

  Aside from re-mapping, is there anything else I could be doing here?
