Bug Description

When using multiple monitors, alt-tab shows and switches between not only windows from current monitor, but from both. That makes navigating between windows much harder, especially when it comes to switching between 4 instances of application of one type, spread on multiple monitors (for example having 2 terminals per monitor).

Bug is present in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS in Unity 7.2.4.

How to reproduce?
Plug in another monitor and launch many windows on both screens. Try to alt-tab efficiently.
