[Bug 1447931] [NEW] alt-tab switches windows from multiple monitors

 

Public bug reported:

When using multiple monitors, alt-tab shows and switches between not
only windows from current monitor, but from both. That makes navigating
between windows much harder, especially when it comes to switching
between 4 instances of application of one type, spread on multiple
monitors (for example having 2 terminals per monitor).

Bug is present in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS in Unity 7.2.4.

How to reproduce?
Plug in another monitor and launch many windows on both screens. Try to alt-tab efficiently.
