Description Jose Vilmar Estacio de Souza 2014-01-22 14:59:39 UTC

To reproduce try the following steps:
1. Launch gnome-tweak-tool  and press the Icons on Desktopbutton.
2. Quit gnome-tweak-tool.
3. Press alt+f2, type r and press enter to restart gnome-shell.
4. Press alt+tab until you find a files window.
5. Release the alt key and press right arrow.

Actual results: Gnome-shell stays completely locked.

Note 1: This problem appears after I upgrade to gnome-shell 3.0.3.
Note 2: If I turn on the alternateTab extension the problem does not happen.
Note 3: Running gnome-shell under a gdb session I found the following:
