SUMMARY
If I set Super+tab and Super+T (and the corresonding Super+Shift+tab and Super+Shift+t) as the shortcuts to switch between apps in the shortcuts and then change a setting in the task-switcher page it will only save one of the two shortcuts for cycling forwards and backwards between windows.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Set two shortcuts for the "Walk Through Windows" function in Settings->shortcuts; say, Super+t and Super+tab
2.  Go to Settings->Virtual Desktops->Task Switcher
3. Change a setting (e.g., change Visualise from thumbnail to sidebar) and click apply.

OBSERVED RESULT
After applying the change of settings only one of the two keybinds we set will switch between the windows. 

EXPECTED RESULT
Both keybinds should work after changing a setting on this page.

Hi - thanks for the steps to reproduce! I wasn't able to trigger this issue by following those steps, for what it's worth.

In case it might offer a clue, though, could you please provide your basic system information from the Info Center application, or kinfo on the terminal?

Thanks!
