Bug Description
Currently if a user enters the alt-tab window spread by pausing, on reaching the end of the spread they return to the app switching list. However if a user enters the alt-tab window spread by pressing the down arrow key, on reaching the end of the spread they loop back to the beginning of the spread.
In recent user testing, having these two different modes of navigation proved very confusing to a number of users.
Desired solution:
- Even if a window spread is entered by pressing the down arrow key, on reaching the end of the spread the user should move to the next application (the same behaviour as when a user enters a alt-tab window spread by pausing)
