Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
when you're typing stuff into the address bar and it shows some
suggestions/search results; you can't alt tab or use any other wm keys
while that window is open, you have to hit escape to clear it first;
this is a big problem because merely selecting the current url in the
address bar opens that results window.
steps to reproduce:
1) open firefox
2) type something in the address bar so that it shows the search dropdown
3) try and use alt-tab without dismissing it
expected outcome:
switch to next window in cycle, or do any given wm action
actual outcome:
nothing works
i've tried wm actions with compiz (alt-tab, cube faces, changing
workspaces) and metacity wm actions (alt-tab) and they do not get
through
normally hitting escape wouldn't be too onerous, but merely selecting
the address bar also opens the dropdown
