[Bug 1485333] [NEW] [REGRESSION] cannot switch to a given window after showing desktop

 

Public bug reported:

This is a regression which has appeared either in 14.10 or 15.04, as it
didn't exist in 14.04.

This is 100% systematically reproducible for me.

1. have a few windows of the same program open, for example, three terminal windows
2. make sure all of them are visible and one is focused
3. hit Ctrl+Super+D so that all windows are hidden and the desktop is shown
4. click on the terminal icon (or the icon of whatever example program we are testing the issue against) on the Launcher
=> one of the windows becomes visible, foreground and focused, as expected. But suppose you want to switch to one of the other ones
5. click on the launcher icon again
6. pick any window other than the one that was focused in the previous step

Expected result: that window should be brought to front and given focus

Observed result:
the window does the animation as if it was going to be brought to front, but then vanishes, and is not visible at all
the previous window is still on the foreground but no longer focused.
No visible window is focused at all.
