Annoys me too. My steps to repro:
1. Open 2 instances of QtCreator & one instance of firefox (make all maximized for clarity's sake)
2. Alt-Tab away to firefox
3. Alt-Tab to QtCreator1
4. Alt-backtick to QtCreator2
5. Alt-Tab
Expected result
Firefox should be focused window
Actual result
I'm looking at QtCreator1
This behaviour breaks the paradigm of Alt-Tab between applications, and Alt-` between application windows.
