[Bug 1466145] [NEW] unable to switch between instances of same app

 

Public bug reported:

Scenerio:
let's say i opened 4 instances of nautilus file manager. the unity launcher groups all 4 into a single icon with 4 markers. when double clicked on the icon, all 4 instances are shown on the screen. so far so good. when clicked on any 1 instance, to switch between the app, some other instance is selected and displayed.
most of the times it has happened and with all kinds of apps.
