Public bug reported:

Here's a request for improvement.  I find it hard to visually discern
what application Alt-Tab switcher will switch to if I were to let go the
key combo.  The focus moves from leftish (not fully left since the left-
most icon is "Show Desktop") further to the right as Alt-Tab is pressed
repeatedly.  I would suggest to always keep the focus in the middle of
the screen and instead move the app icons in a visual stream beneath it.
That way, it is easier for the user to know where to focus attention and
operate unity as desired more quickly and efficiently.

** Affects: unity (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Summary changed:

- RFE: fixed focus in switcher
+ RFE: switch should have fixed position focus

** Summary changed:

- RFE: switch should have fixed position focus
+ RFE: switcher should have "fixed position" focus
