unity8: 8.15+17.
To reproduce:

2) Load an application either from launcher or app drawer, e.g. System Settings
3) Press Alt+Tab to display task switcher and then release Tab key to leave switcher showing.
4) Press Tab again.

Pressing Tab should cycle through the available apps.
Actual result:
The selected app does not change using the Tab key.
Note: Once the unity8 session has been locked and unlocked, the Tab key selection will work again.

after some investigation, turns out this actually works, but after startup, the Stage doesn't have proper focus. Not sure yet where it ended up, will try to add some code that forces focus on the stage when the stage goes to spread. (as this could in theory also happen if you intentionally put focus on the launcher, the panel menu or something and then go to spread)
