I'm not going to re-open this, but I will point out for now that the behavior
of switching immediately **_without releasing the modifier key_** is not how
almost any other desktop operating system or Linux desktop environment does
task switching. Which is what makes it "unexpected". 

I can see that with the way the tab box behavior is currently designed (which
also causes the other bug I mentioned, that would have to be fixed to make
moving from Alt+Tab to Alt+Grave without releasing Alt make any sense) this is
unlikely to be resolvable with a simple bug fix. 

The KDE community would need to be convinced that the whole tab box behavior in
general needs to be revamped, so that it would be possible to choose different
styles of task switching entirely.
