Bug Description

Alt-tab under Unity-2D does not always raise the target window; eg. in the following situation I had:

  1. Firefox window, maximised
  2. Terminal, (opened first), windowed
  3. Alt-tab from Firefox to Terminal icon in switcher popup
  4. Thin white overlaid outline of terminal appears
  5. Release alt-tab

What happened:

  6. the White outline disappeared, and Firefox stayed on top

What should have happened:

  6. the Terminal previewed by the white-outline should have appeared on top.

Workaround:

I got out this mode with some (mouse-based) windowing/unmaximisation, and remaximising.

Thanks for the report Paul.
Do you think it could be the same issue as in bug #735205 ?
