Title:
  Tapping alt-tab switches between windows of the same application
  sometimes

Status in Unity:
  Won't Fix
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Normally, tapping alt-tab switches between applications, and tapping
  alt-` switches between windows of the front-most application. However,
  if the two front-most windows are from the same application, then alt-
  tab will switch between these windows instead, instead of moving to
  the second-front-most application. Hence, in this case, alt-tab
  duplicates the action of alt-`.

  Here is an example:
  1) create the stack with two nautilus windows at the top, e.g. Nautilus window 1 (N1), Nautilus window 2 (N2), and Firefox window (F1) (but you can use any applications). Create the stack either by [clicking F1, N2, N1] or [switching to Nautilus with alt-tab, then alt-` to the other Nautilus window].
  2) Tap alt-tab.

  What happens: I switch to the other nautilus window.

  What I expected: to switch to the other application (i.e. Firefox).
