Quoth Josip Deanovic,
Could this behavior be made configurable through an additional option? In Windowmaker 0.80.2 and older versions such behavior didn't exist at all and for those who doesn't use that feature it might occasionally represent irritation (based on the keyboard shortcuts they use).
It sounds like a bug rather than an intentional change since it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for the arrow keys to change windows one at a time - you could use alt-tab for that - and they used to work intuitively.
Easily fixed.

A previous commit broke the behaviour of the left and right arrow keys in the switchpanel. Releasing either of the keys would correctly select a new window but the panel would then close. The original, and desired, behaviour is for the panel to remain open after selecting a new window with the arrow keys.
