Bug Description

The bug:
When Super+W is pressed quickly, the Dash appears instead of the Spread. The fact that W has also been pressed is ignored. “Quickly” means the duration less than the dash_tap_duration parameter which is found in Launcher tab of the CompizConfig Settings Manager as the “Dash tap duration”.

Steps to reproduce:
– open CompizConfig Settings Manager
– in Launcher tab, change the parameter “Dash tap duration” to some high value, say 1000 milliseconds (more is prohibited)
– press Super+W within the duration not more than one second
– WHAT IS EXPECTED: Spread mode should appear
– WHAT HAPPENS INSTEAD: Dash appears

Obviously, this bug can also be reproduced with the default value of dash_tap_duration (250ms) but with the higher value it's more evident and easier to reproduce.

It's a usability issue that doesn't limit the functionality of a core package.
