2011-08-27 10:02:21 Hernando Torque description When one of the windows in the switcher closes while switching, the corresponding item stays in the launcher and when selected opens a new instance of the program. I'd expect the item to get removed or at least not start an instance of the closed program. TEST CASE: 1. Open a gnome-terminal. 2. Run "sleep 10 ; exit" 3. Initiate the alt-tab switcher and wait for the terminal to close. RESULT: * The terminal item doesn't get removed from the switcher. * Selecting that item results in launching a new gnome-terminal. If this is by design, feel free to close as "Opinion".
