Bug Description
Expected behaviour:-
Open multiple applications such as Chrome and lots of terminals.
With Chrome maximised press ALT+TAB quickly (no holding down).
Expect to get the last window I used (and no other) raised.
What actually happens:-
All windows of the app you're switching to come to the front. This of course can be suboptimal because it obscures what's behind (like the other app you were tabbing away from).
Look! I made a video!
(apologies for saying it's crap at the end, that's not directed at any individual, it's just because the behaviour seems, sub-optimal)

Further to this I dont know if it's related but if I alt-tab away to the terminals, and close whichever was the one that was selected at the time, they all go to the back, and the browser comes back to front.
