Title:
  window z-order not intuitive when mouse wheel scrolling over launcher
  icon

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  open several windows of one application type (gnome-terminal is good, but anything will do)
  hover over the launcher icon and use the mouse wheel to scroll between them, raising windows one after another, scroll back and the sequence is not reversed.
  rock the wheel back and forth one click at a time and it will alternate between one window and each of the others in turn.
  I would expect that scrolling the wheel would pop a window from the top of the stack to the very bottom, scrolling the other way would pull windows off the bottom of the stack and put them on the top, that way window switching acts like a ring. Currently it seems to push the current window to top-1 then does some hard to describe sequence to pull others up in turn, it isn't reversable, so if you scroll through a lot of windows, go past the one you want and go back one, you don't get to the thing you wanted.
