Title:
  alt-tab no longer lets me switch between terminal windows

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I typically use multiple terminal windows, rather than tabs within
  terminal windows, because I find that the context of the visible part
  of the overlapping windows is highly useful.

  Up to 17.04, I could use alt-tab to switch between different windows
  that were each running a terminal instance.

  As of 17.10, I can only switch between "the current terminal focus
  window" and "other apps" -- other terminal windows are not part of the
  alt-tab "ring"

  Especially going back and forth between the two latest terminal
  windows with a single alt-tab is crucial to a productive workflow, and
  all OS-es I've used have supported this for the last 20 years. Except
  now, I'm expected to Alt-tab a few times to get "back" to terminal,
  then press arrow-down and arrow-right to select another terminal
  window. Wot? That's not helpful.

  This fundamentally breaks my workflow, and is not something I can live
  with.
