(Get the code!)
Hi Unity community,
Please acknowledge that I am also +1ing this bug report. Bug #959339 says that Alt-Tabbing "should" only bring the more recently focused window: this is not true, what "should" happen depends on the user (for instance, some people wish to completely disable Alt-Tabbing altogether). In order to keep people satisfied with your software, you "should" properly distinguish between "by design" (objectivity) and "by config" (subjectivity).
Users like to customize their user interface, that is what "user configuration" is there for, remember? In the opinion of someone who never contributed to the Unity project, forcing (if I am not mistaken, the only way to customize the behavior is to re-compile Unity) users to always Alt-Tab to single windows is plainly stupid: obviously, some users want just one window, and some others want all windows.
If the bitter tone of this comment did not stop you from reading, please advise whether this bug is going to be fixed someday, or whether you intend to leave it as Triaged until the release of Ubuntu 57.04.
Best regards for your development efforts.
PN
PS: if anyone knows a workaround besides recompiling Unity or using scripts with PIDs and window manager controls, I would be happy to hear about it.
