Cancelling super+tab with ESC sometimes leaves all windows "dim"

[kamalmarhubi]

I don't have a clear repro for this. But I've seen it happen with just these two steps:

• super+tab a few times
• ESC

It happens maybe every other week or so.

All windows will be dimmed out as if they are not the window selected by super+tab. There's no way to get them to go back to normal; in particular these don't help:

• no amount of super+tab or anything
• disabling paperwm and re-enabling

The only fix I have is to log out and log back in, which is not ideal.

The attached clip is not a repro, but just to illustrate the "dimming" I mean.

This is my current version info, though this has been happening for many months across many versions:

    Add "StackUnstack" action in Examples. (#358)
    
    If the focused window is not stacked, it stacks it at the bottom of an adjacent column
    If the focused window is stacked, it moves it out into its own column.

Not sure if this actually fixes the issue, but bcd92857ae267bb561ee5e96591eeaaf606bd81d should make the code a bit more robust and hopefully makes sure the dimming goes away.

Meant to say thanks and that I think this may have fixed it! Since it's pretty non-deterministic, I'll follow up in another month or so to close the issue :-)

Closing based on last comment (more than two years ago) suggesting this was fixed.
