Title:
  Launcher - Launcher does not always switch between last active windows

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Fix Committed
Status in Unity:
  Triaged
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When switching between two applications (say firefox a libreoffice
  writer) one of which has multiple windows, switching back does not
  necessarily choose the last active window.

  To replicate:

  1. Open a libreoffice writer document and write "1" on the page.
  2. Open another and write "2"
  3. Open firefox
  4. Go to the writer document and make sure you are working on the document with the "1" on the page.
  5. Click on the firefox launcher icon
  6. Click on the libreoffice writer icon

  What happens: The libreoffice writer document labeled "2" is opened
  What should happen: The libreoffice writer document labeled "1" is opened

  This becomes very annoying when trying to quickly switch between 2
  windows, as I have to double click the writer icon and open the
  correct window.
