Title:
  The exposed open windows are displayed in the correct order

Status in Unity:
  Fix Committed
Status in Unity 7.2 series:
  In Progress
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When multiple non-maximised windows of the same program are open and
  one clicks on the icon of the program in the launcher, they are all
  shown one next to each other but in the wrong order: windows that are
  in the top-left corner can be shown in the right bottom position or on
  the top bottom corner.

  This makes very hard to switch between similarly looking windows like
  terminals.

  How to reproduce:

  * launch four or so terminal windows;
  * write something different on each of them to be able to tell them apart;
  * move each window to a different corner, possibly using the auto-resizing feature of Unity;
  * click on the terminal icon in the launcher;
  * many terminal windows are displayed;
  * choose the thumbnail in the right-top corner;
  * very likely a window that was in another corner has been selected;
  * try again various time and realize how confusing this all is.

  The thing that is more strange is that you have to move the mouse
  pointer to a certain point (let's say "right-top"), then you see the
  window has appeared far away (let's say "bottom-left") so you have to
  move your mouse again.
