Bug Description

Steps to reproduce - With launcher never hiding

1) Open one gedit windows, say "text1.txt". Maximize it.
2) Open another gedit windows, say "text2.txt" maximize it.
3) Having gedit windows in 2 active, click on the gedit icon on the launcher. Windows of gedit "text1.txt" is shown.

What should happen? Title of window on the Unity top bar should show "test1.txt"
What actually happens? Title of window on the Unity top bar still shows test2.txt.

See attached video.

I'm working in one app that have few opened windows. I go to browser by clicking it icon in launcher. After this I click on icon of first app, but opening not active window (I worked in another) of this app. But if I will click close button on this window, will be closed window in which I worked.

P.S. Sorry for my English. I'm learning.

You can install gtk-recordmydesktop and it will allow you to create a "ogg" video about the problem.

This is video demonstrarion: http://ubuntuone.com/p/14Fn/

By mouse cursor I showed labels of windows and tabs. By the way, at the end of video you can see bug with unity's panel applets: if I click on applet's icon it doesn't show menu - I need to click on keyboard's layout applet (or network, or sound, or social) and move mouse to applet that I need to see menu.

P.S. Sorry for my English. Just look video.

Problem not only in gedit. It's in all maximized windows. On video you can see same bug with nautilus windows.

I think, for repairing this bug, click on icon in launcher must show only last active window, not all windows (second click shows window selecting).

In Ubuntu 11.10 bug still exists.

Additional info. When windows not maximized and I work in one window (other windows of this application minimized) and I minimize this window, after clicking on app icon in Launcher all windows maximizing. But I need only last active.
