Public bug reported:

I'm working on Ubuntu 18.04, fully patched with dist-upgrade.

I layout 4 terminals as shown in the attached image. The order of the
favorite pop-out is top-to-bottom: (a) is (1) top left, (b) is (2)
bottom left, (c) is (3) top right, and (d) is (4) bottom right.

After the favorite pop-out window closes, GNOME will randomize the order
in the favorite pop-out. As an example, (a) in the pop-out may become
terminal (3), and (d) in the pop-out may become terminal (1). It is
incredibly annoying behavior since I can't quickly jump back to the
terminal (1) by clicking the (a) pop-out.

For me, each terminal is used for a specific task. I usually have 8 or
10 terminals open. I might have Emacs open in Terminal (1), a cp command
in terminal (2), and a compiler in terminal (3). I try to quickly rotate
among them to get work done.
