Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
Open gedit or chrome (only certain apps) and press alt-tab to switch between the applications.

Expected Result:
Three icons shown in the alt-tab preview which are desktop, gedit and the chrome icon.

Actual Result:
You will notice that the alt-tab shows desktop, 2 gedit windows and chrome open even though only 1 gedit window is present.

Does this occur every time?

And, does running unity --reset fix the issue?

No this does not occur every time. I have not tried unity --reset. I'll try that and check if it happens.
