Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

Unity's launcher should respond to multiple shortcut requests without releasing the function key.

Current behaviour:
FN key held down
Numeric digit 1 is pressed: window 1 comes into focus
FN key remains held down
Numeric digit 2 is pressed: this keypress is sent to window 1

Expected behaviour
FN key held down
Numeric digit 1 is pressed: window 1 comes into focus
FN key remains held down
Numeric digit 2 is pressed: window 2 comes into focus

I think you meant Super, but modulo that I agree. Super-1-2-3 should
launch/focus apps 1, 2, and 3 in succession.

Hum, right, it worked before, I'm wondering if this regression isn't related to compiz grab focus change. Will have a look.

So right, compiz regressed on that (it works if you stay in the same viewport, but the focus is stolen when you swith to another viewport when you activate on app on it). I duplicate and raise bug #745430 priority then.
