Title:
  alt-tab switches workspaces to focus apps, but shouldn't

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Invalid
Status in Unity:

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  ALT+TAB in 13.10 is broken, a regression. If you have apps open on
  workspace 1 and workspace 2, then alt-tabbing can take you from
  workspace 1 to workspace 2, when it shouldn't.

  Steps to reproduce.

  On workspace 1, open terminal, multiple browser (chromium in my case) windows, leave terminal focussed
  On workspace 2 also open a terminal and multiple browser windows. Leave browser focussed
  Use CTRL+ALT+ARROWS to switch back to workspace 1
  Use ALT+TAB to switch to the browser on workspace 1
  You end up switching to workspace 2

  Expected results (and what happens on previous releases)
  You stay on workspace 1 and switch to another app/window

  See video at :- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BubHhtqFUlc

  Note from Design: alt-tab *should not* move the user between
  workspaces. It should only show the apps/windows open on the current
  workspace.
