 Issue 638269  has been merged into this issue.
from oshima@: (I'll add that manual keyboard open is needed to repro these, not when enabling the VK by clicking on a text field)

There are actually two scenarios, one with sticky and another one with non sticky:

* With sticky mode, you can switch the selected window using VK in the list, but you can't finalize the selection. The window list stays on the screen, and clicking the item doesn't select the window.

* With non sticky mode, keyboard closes when you typed alt-tab once, so you can't use VK to select window. The window list stays on the screen, and clicking the item doesn't select the window.

Only way to recover from this state was to type alt-tab on real keyboard. It's not critical, but it did leave the desktop in weird state.
