Comment 16 for bug 150702

Hello there, I have reassigned this to compiz, since I have experienced this bug on Hardy after dist-upgrade from Gutsy. But after a clean installation of Hardy, I see this bug is FIXED - pressing/releasing <shift> during the switching of windows now does reverse the direction of switching (initiated wiht <alt><tab>), it works as expected.

There is still one inconsistency here though, when the switching dialog is initiated with <shift><alt><tab> (press and hold shift, then press and hold alt, then press tab - in this sequence). At first, it does exactly what I expect. While holding <shift> and <alt>, hitting <tab> switches the windows in the reverse direction. But then if the <shift> is released (and <alt> is still held), the switching is finished, and I think it should not. It's the release of <alt> what should trigger the finish of the switching, not the release of <shift>. The pressing/release of <shift> should only trigger the direction of the switching.

Again, I would not call this an issue, it rather an inconsistency, since it occurs only when <shift><alt><tab> is used to initiate the switching and I would say not many people are using that.
