Bug Description

Ever since upgrading to Unity 5.14.0-0ubuntu1 a few days ago Alt+` has behaved funny.

* Open 2 Terminal windows
* Hold alt+` until the window previews appear
* Keep holding the key combination and after a few seconds, the window previews will swap positions (so if I try to swap windows quickly, I will select the wrong one)

See the attached video.
