There is no stalling, but the switcher waits for the animation to complete. Someone reported this on the opencompositing bugzilla (see http://bugs.opencompositing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=887) and the developer to whom it was assigned stated that it won't be fixed as "The current behavior is needed to get a correct animation."
>From a usability perspective, it is certainly an example of *extremely bad* design and from a software engineering perspective it is poor to couple the shift animation with the response of the switcher. Indeed, the switcher should be responsive with *no delay* to the release of the trigger key combination. I second this bug report and request that a solution is attempted within Ubuntu or in conjunction with the opencompositing community. Perhaps the Ubuntu developers/packagers should try to convince opencompositing developers that the current behaviour of the shift switcher is unacceptable from a usability point of view (and/or patch the code to provide a more usable shift switcher if the current behaviour doesn't change). -- shift switcher has slow response when keys are released https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217096 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
