[Bug 1264795] Re: Alt+Tab Switcher randomly activates itself

 

So there are 2 solutions for us hackers.. before a real fix comes out [how does that work?]
1) Switch to Gnome

2) Patch Unity Source, and rebuild [untested]

Title:
  Alt+Tab Switcher randomly activates itself

Status in Unity:
  Triaged
Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am running Ubuntu 13.10 on my Macbook Pro 2009 laptop. I cannot find
  a report on this bug when googling it. So I thought I would file the
  bug.

  Literally, the switcher randomly just activates itself, and then the
  icons show in the middle of the screen as per usual. The stranger
  behavior is what happens next:

  1) The switcher might automatically switch to a seemingly random app from the selection. 
  2) The switcher will just be displayed, but I cannot actually make it go away by clicking on one of the app icons. Instead, it just displays for however long it 'feels like,' typically ~5 seconds. 

  So.. That's it. Hope I can get some help :D
