This issue creeped up on me in 13.10. It's SUUUUUUUUUUUUPER 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 and windows. For the most part it works well but after a alt- backtick the behavior of alt-tab changes. Even after month this is never what I expect. It's subjectively totally erratic. When I press alt-tab I always want the "previous app." I have this intention a lot. I need a "get me to the previous app" key, not a "sure back to previous app in most of the cases" key.
I get the idea of focusing on the last window no matter what app it was from. This feature may be a ok o the alt-backtick key. It actually makes a lot of sense there because I almost neve switch between windows of the same app after switching the app. For this reason "take me to the last window" feature would usually not interfer with what I expect the button does. I think way more people would complain about this if it wasn't sucha subliminal annoyance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998285 Title: Tapping alt-tab switches between windows of the same application sometimes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/998285/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
