Public bug reported:
There is an inconsistent behavior when you want to only raise the last focused
window of an application:
1. Press Alt+Tab until the switcher is visible and you go to the hilight the
desired multi-window application. Keep alt pressed
2. a) if you press the down arrow key, the first window of that application is
hilighted and you can raise only that instance if desired
b) if you press key-above-tab (² or ~, depending on your keyboard
configuration), however the second window of that application is highlight, so
you need to cycle back all the way down to first one to only raise that one.
I suggest that when the switcher is displayed, after an alt-tab with alt
keep being pressed, the first key-above-tab press highlight the first
window instead of the second (as if you pressed the down arrow key).
