This is highly irritating.

Steps to repro:
1. Have 2 firefox windows open, and 1 terminal. Firefox window 1 is focused.
2. Hit Alt-` to switch to Firefox window 2
3. Hit Alt-Tab.

Expected result
Terminal is in front

Actual Result
Firefox window 1 in front

Since Alt-Tab is the app switcher, and Alt-backtick is in-app window
switching, this behaviour is totally wrong. I'm re-opening this bug.

Title:
  When using option "switch between windows of same desktop" ("Bias alt-
  tab to prefer windows on the current viewport") if multi-window app is
  open pressing alt-tab will start from the same app.

Bug description:
  Normally, when you press alt-tab, you will be switched to app you've
  used last before current app (so you can switch between two apps with
  pressing alt-tab just once).

  When using option "Bias alt-tab to prefer windows on the current
  viewport", if multi-window app is open pressing alt-tab will start
  from the same app. So to switch to another app you need to press "alt-
  tab-tab". That's really annoying.

  Please fix that.

  Thanks. Video: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/865508/unity-bug-alt-tab.ogv
