Bug Description

I use the Alt+1...9 shortcuts to switch application tabs (gnome-terminal, chromium, firefox, etc) all the time, and quite often the HUD shows up after the tab is switched. This doesn't happen if I press the Alt key, followed by the number and then release Alt, but I frequently seem to release the Alt key at almost the same time I press the number and that's when the HUD shows up. I thought this could be the same cause as bug 923410 or bug 937036 but those seem to happen consistently, regardless of how fast you release the Alt key.
