Jeremy Bícha (jbicha) wrote : Alt-Tab switcher should switch to an app tile that is clicked

1. Open up several apps (for instance, a web browser, a game, a file manager and a terminal). Don't have the apps maximized.
2. Press Alt+Tab. Hold down the Alt key and click the tab selector so that the game is active.
3. While continuing to hold down Alt, use your mouse to click the terminal tile
Expected behavior: Unity should switch to the terminal since the mouse click overrides where the tab happened to end up.

Alternate example:
3. While continuing to hold down Alt, change your mind and click to the actual file manager in the background.
Expected behavior: Unity should switch to the file manager since the mouse click overrides the Alt+Tab behavior.

Other notes:
Gnome Shell works the way I expect; it would be nice for Unity to do the Right Thing also.
