I agree this is quite annoying and unintuitive. But from what I'm seeing
in 16.04, there is no more alt-` by default and the action is back to MS
Windows with a simple Alt-tab behaviour which switches between the two
last used windows of any app. Then at some point Ubuntu expanded upon
that to
As said, this is a designed behavior. It's not a bug.
We want it to work in this way. If you don't want this behavior, just
use the tweak tools to get it as you prefer. Problem solved.

First of all, you're basing on GNOME but breaking the functionality of
it with a random decisions to have a hybrid approach. What on earth for?

What does "Fix Released" mean exactly? I got here because my bug
#1568242 was marked duplicate of this, and yet I have this exact problem
in 16.04. Had it in 15.10 as well.

Tapping alt-tab switches between windows of the same application
FYI, the design has not been defined by unity (code) developers, but by
designers that found that this hybrid behavior is better (and I kinda
agree with them).
Anyway, if you would like to introduce an option to always make the Alt-
Tab to prefer switching to applications, this is possible and
When Alt+Tab is presented as an application switcher, it MUST ACT AS AN
APPLICATION SWITCHER. /steam from ears
This is how I, Andreas, and I assume most people new to Unity understand the
Alt+Tab and Alt+` behaviour:
Alt+Tab switches to the previously open application. Alt+` switches to the
I agree with Ben and I understand why he is angry. However, I don't
think that we should start a dispute about who is right and who is
wrong.
I am pretty sure that the Unity devs had their reasons for introducing
this Alt-Tab behavior. I am also sure that there is a good deal of
people who work

This is so right. It is very annoying not to able to predict the
behavior of alt-tab, to do it without thinking about where you were a

It is confusing and slows me
Sorry, Marco, but if this is the intended design, then the design is
flawed.
Unity Alt-Tab behavior breaches the system of using one shortcut for
switching between applcations and another for switching between windows

Sorry, but this is not a bug.
What is described here is the wanted design: unity switcher always selects the
last used window of the previously used application.
Then, if you were using application A1, then you switch to application B1, a
single Alt-Tab will move you back to A1. Instead if you

The problem persists in Ubuntu 14.04 Final Beta.
This bug appeared in 12.04, therefore I don't think it will ever be fixed. In
my opinion, this proves that only few people use Alt-Tab to switch windows.

I hate this bug ... and also Unity if is not fixed :( ...
I also prefer the old classic switcher and change windows basing on 'most
recent used'.
There is a way restore the old one?

Annoys me too. My steps to repro:

for clarity's sake)
2. Alt-Tab away to firefox
3. Alt-Tab to QtCreator1
4. Alt-backtick to QtCreator2
5. Alt-Tab
Expected result
Firefox should be focused window

This issue creeped up on me in 13.10. It's SPER
annoying!!
Let me explain. It's the inconsistency that's the problem. It took me
several month to even conceptionalize why I am subliminally irritated by
Unity. I use alt-tab and alt-backtick all the time to navigate between
apps
Since the last Unity update, the trick with CSSM doesn't work for me any
more.

This also occurs in Unity on 12.10, but is much more apparent on my
older (and slower) laptop (Dell Latitude e5510); to the point where the
