Bug#286517: metacity: doesn't respond to right-alt key release

Package: metacity
Version: 1:2.8.6-1
Severity: normal


I use Alt-{Left,Right} to switch between workspaces in metacity.  This
works fine when I use the left Alt key.  When I use the right Alt key,
metacity doesn't notice when I release it.  I have to press a key or
click the mouse to get metacity to remove the workspace-switching
overview (the little box in the middle of the screen that shows all
the workspaces as you switch between them) and return focus to an
application.

Thanks for looking into this.

Best,
Rob
