Alt-Tab Freezing in Cinnamon

I google around a little bit, but the only posts I found were in early 2012 (here and here). But apparently the bug is still there.

It's difficult to reproduce, because I haven't as yet figured out what is causing it. But when I hit alt+tab to switch windows, the alt-tab switcher gets stuck on screen. I'm still able to click on and interact with whatever window is below the alt-tab window. And occasionally after a while of clicking away and hitting Esc it goes away. But sometimes when I do that it doesn't go away.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a known solution?

I'm running the 3.12.3-1-ARCH kernel, with the nvidia driver and bbswitch installed.

Re: Alt-Tab Freezing in Cinnamon

I'm having the exact same problem. Sometimes I have to restart cinnamon to get it to go away

Running 3.13.0-1-MANJARO kernel with nvidia 331.38 and cinnamon 2.0.14
