Description Mantas Mikulėnas (grawity) 2013-03-07 19:08:53 UTC 
Commit df0f03d831ec52fe "overview: Keep open when a Control key is held" sometimes causes the overview to get "stuck" – it thinks that Control is pressed when it isn't, and does not let me escape the overview. I have to press and release Ctrl to unstick it.

I've finally found a way to reproduce this reliably. This happens when I Ctrl+click on a link in a notification, then open the overview with the Super key while the notification is still visible. (Holding Ctrl is a strong habit that I have, from opening many links in gnome-terminal, as well as using it for "Open in new tab" in web browsers...)

  1. Run `notify-send foo https://bugzilla.gnome.org/`
     A notification will be displayed.

  2. Hold Ctrl, click the link, release Ctrl

  3. While the notification is still visible, press Super

  4. Overview gets stuck.

I realize that this is somewhat of a corner case, and it's not as bad after I've figured out the cause...

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.

(The reproducer is helpful though - can you add it as comment on bug 695161 please?)
