SUMMARY
Let's assume we are watching a youtube video. Now I want to check my telegram
and I ALT+TAB and use the directional keys to navigate to telegram. In this
process, if I press the left directional key, the window selection moves left
(cyclic) as well as the youtube video rewinds by 5 seconds. If I press the
right directional key, the window selection moves right (cyclic) and the
youtube video forwards by 5 seconds. Similar effect can be noticed on pressing
up and down directional keys (volume up and down respectively).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open 3 or more applications. One of them should have some visual or audio
effect on pressing directional keys.
2. ALT+TAB and navigate using directional pad.
3. Release ALT+TAB when we have reached the desired application.
OBSERVED RESULT
The selected application is brought into focus along with the previously active
application registering the key strokes resulting in abnormal behaviour.
EXPECTED RESULT
The selected application is brought into focus while the previous application
should have no effect of directional keys.
