Title:
Tapping alt-tab switches between windows of the same application
sometimes
Status in Unity:
Fix Committed
Status in Unity 7.2 series:
Triaged
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
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).
