Describe the bug

The Ctrl+Tab MRU palette sometimes stays open after a fast press. Pressing Ctrl+Tab quickly and releasing Ctrl shows the tab switcher, but instead of switching to the selected tab it stays on screen until you press Ctrl a second time.

To reproduce

  1. Open Warp with at least two tabs/sessions.
  2. In Settings, set Ctrl+Tab behavior to "Cycle most recent session" (or "Cycle most recent tab").
  3. Quickly press Ctrl+Tab and release Ctrl.

Expected behavior

The palette commits the selected tab and closes on Ctrl release.

Does this block you from using Warp daily?

No

Is this an issue only in Warp?

Yes, I confirmed that this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.
