Bug Description

When multiple windows of same application are minimized and restored using plank the restored windows randomly change their order. This makes it much more difficult when more than two of those windows are fullscreen/maximized. In this case sometimes accessing the window through window spread is the only option. I will be good if the windows are restored in same order so that the user doesn't have to use the window spread once the group windows are minimized using plank.

Video attached.

Plank is respecting the stacking order of windows and restores it too.

The problem is that animated windows gain focus. I thought there was already a bug for this but I don't see it in Gala's bugs.

Ah right. Now It happens when apps are on different workspaces, (like Web Browser on the first, two instances of Scratch on the second) and you switch between browser and editor with plank.

that's true. switching workspaces via plank selects a random window.
