- It happens when switching sessions via alt-esc, right? What happens
- is that the session gets the alt-down, when it's pressed, but the
- keyboard gets switched away before the alt-up signal is sent. It's a
- bug. The session should be send an alt-up upon switching out to
- prevent this.

- this could well be. i am a keyboard junkie and use alt-esc and arrows
- to change sessions. it is not a reliable bug so i am not sure if this
- is the only time that it happens. and it certainly doesn't happen every
- time.
