Or, if the behavior of double click remains the same, ie: quickly show
the 2 opened windows thumbnails and come back to the same window as
before, why not change the default presentation of thumbnails when there
are 2 instances of a program opened ?

I explain : you have for example Firefox browser and bookmarks manager
both opened and maximized, so 2 left triangles on Unity launcher icon.

I am on the browser window and want to switch to bookmarks. I make 1
left click on Firefox Unity icon.

It displays thumbnails of the 2 windows, at left the browser (where I
was), at right the bookmarks.

If I want to stay on browser, I just have to click another time on Unity
icon, easy, no mouse move, and browser comes back in foreground.

But if I want to change to go to another window, the bookmarks one, I
have to move through half of the screen with the mouse to select it and
have it on first place.

This is not logical, as 2 clicks on icon remain same window, changing
for the 2nd instance should be easier and this one should be shown
closer to the launcher, to make minimal mouse move.

This is the behavior we get when one of the 2 instances is not maximized
on the screen (ie Firefox browser maximized + Firefox download manager
not maximized opened), the downlaod manager thumbnail is well on the
left, or when there are 3 windows of the same program opened : current
is seen on the right, others on left and bottom, which is logical.

** Summary changed:

- Switch between opened windows by double click in Unity's dock icon
+ Switch between 2 opened windows of same program by click in Unity's dock icon
