Shortcut to switch between applications stopped working on Gnome 3.18

After upgrading today a lot of Gnome packages the shortcut to switch between open applications in a workspace (usually mapped to super+tab or alt+tab), stopped working. The rest of the shortcuts seem to work fine. These are the relevant lines I've found in the log:

Unfortunately this is still an issue for me, it mostly happens with some java applications (like tn5250j).
