deny.

Title:
  Desktop switch freezes until Enter is pressed

Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I use 4 desktops in my work, using win+<right, left, up and down> to
  switch between them. This worked fine until I recently updated to
  ubuntu 12.04. Now when I hit any of these combinations, e.g. win+down,
  the desktop switch occurs, but the switching GUI in the center of the
  screen doesn't disappear as it used to. Also, mouse cursor becomes
  invisible. You can see how everything looks at this moment in the
  attached screenshot.

  At this point, everything is in a very unpleasant state. Mouse cursor
  is invisible, but it can still move. I know this because when I move
  the mouse to the left, the Launcher appears. But other apps don't
  react to the mouse in any way. The keyboard also doesn't produce any
  effects. It seems almost as if it is impossible to exit this state,
  and there is a strong urge to reboot the computer.

  However, there is a way to get out of this state: hit Enter. Not
  spacebar, not any of the letter keys, only Enter does the trick. The
  GUI disappears and everything is okay again. So, to switch between
  desktops, I am forced to press two key combinations in sequence: first
  win+<direction arrow>, then Enter. Needless to say, working like this
  is extremely uncomfortable.
