2013-03-06 21:51:25 Timo Palomaa description If I have multiple windows open of the same program spread across more than one workspace, Unit Switcher gets confused when trying to Alt-Tab between that program and some other program. The first focus in the switcher is on the program with multiple windows on multiple workspaces, despite that this program was the one that was already cofused and thus switching from it to another program practically requires two Alt-Tab presses. Steps to reproduce: 1. Make sure you have at least two workspaces 2. Open two (2) Firefox windows in the 1st workspace 3. Move to 2nd workspace, and open one (1) Firefox window 4. Open Gedit 5. Alt-Tab once (focus changes to Firefox) 6. Alt-Tab again => on the switcher, Firefox is selected and switching to Gedit requires another Alt-Tab press Firefox and Gedit were used as an examples: I could reproduce this with any random program I tried.
