Bug#256875: metacity: Alt-Tab fails to actually change windows

Package: metacity
Version: 1:2.8.1-3
Severity: important

When I use alt-tab to switch windows, it seems to work as usual, until I let go
of the alt key. At that point, the alt-tab window (with the icons) remains on
the screen (it shouldn't), and it doesn't go away until I press a key - at
which point, the window that originally had focus still has focus, so the
alt-tab accomplished nothing.
