Public bug reported:
While Alt+TABing between windows I accidentally summoned the HUD and
triggered a case where all my keyboard input was ignored (including ESC,
backspace, Return but _not_ Ctrl+Alt+Fx).
How to reproduce:
1. Hit Alt key
2. Once the dash appears
3. Start typing something (example: abcdef)
4. Hit the TAB key
5. Notice that keyboard input is ignored in the HUD (example: pressing other
random keys, including ESC does nothing)
Workaround:
Clicking the mouse outside of the HUD make the HUD go away and keyboard
input returns
What I expect:
1. The HUD not to appear unless specifically summoned (not relevant for this
bug)
2. The HUD to respond to keystrokes once summoned
Misc:
1. I can successfully summon the HUD and dismiss it by pressing the ESC key as
expected if I haven't pressed the TAB key.
2. This bug seems to occur regardless of which application I am currently
using. Tested Firefox, Terminator and Evince.
3. I am running Unity-3D
