Bug Description
1. start firefox, snap it to the left

4. start terminal again from the dash and snap to the left

=====Original Report=====
If you have a workspace with two windows (say firefox and a terminal) and you switch away from it and then back, very often, alt-tab will just stay in one window instead of switching between the two. Holding alt-tab *will* show all the windows, and allow switching to the other one with another key-stroke, but I feel the intended behavior of the single alt-tab is broken.

I didn't get it. You mean to say, when you are on a single workspace, switching using Alt+Tab actually switches you to windows out of the current workspace?
If that's the case, then in CCSM you might want to "bias" Alt+Tab to windows in the current workspace.
