** Description changed: + Windows in the Alt-Tab spread are skipped when cycling Alt-Tab in + reverse using the SHIFT key. + + To Reproduce: + 1. Open two Chromium Web Browser windows + 2. open Gnome terminal - 3. make sure Chromium's window 1 is focused - 4.1 press alt+tab so that terminal is highlighted in the alt-tab switcher - 4.2 without leaving the alt key press shift+tab once - What happens: - Chromium's window 2 is brought to front + 3. Use alt-tab to cycle through all the windows, pausing when the focus + is over the Chromium icon to spread the two chromium windows. Notice + how it is possible to select either one of the individual Chromium + windows using the Alt-Tab spread. - What should happen: - the last active window i.e. chromium's window 1 should be brought to focus. + 4. Now keeping the ALT key held down, also hold down the SHIFT key. + 5. Tap the TAB key (whilst keeping ALT and SHIFT held down) to perform + the same exercise in reverse. - =====Original Description===== + 6. Notice how only one of the two Chromium windows can be selected in + the Alt-Tab spread. Whilst cycling through Alt-Tab in reverse, it is + impossible to select one of the Chromium windows. - I often hit alt+tab, only to change my mind and decide I want to stay on - the same window, after all. + ---------------------------------- + Desired resolution - Unity does not support this behavior if my current application has more - than one window open. - - Let's say I have two firefox windows. I'm in window A. I hit alt-tab - to go to the terminal. Before I release alt, I change my mind and - decide I want to stay in firefox. I hit shift and tab. Firefox is now - the highlighted application. I release all the keys. - - I expect to be taken back to firefox window A. Instead, I am taken to - firefox window B. + - Holding down the SHIFT key while in Alt-Tab should reverse all + actions, and all app windows should be selectable.
