Public bug reported:
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.
