Public bug reported:

In olden days, you could alt-tab to return to the last window you had active.
and pressing alt-tab twice was a round trip, bringing you back to the same 
window.

Now alt-tab does something else less useful.  Every time I want to switch 
between
two windows, I try to use alt-tab, and fail miserably.  It's humiliating.
It's been like this for quite a while, and I'm sure it's by design,
and is the clever idea of somebody who doesn't actually use the desktop
like normal people do.

Today I got fed up and RTFM'd.

It's a GNOME 3 setting:
Settings > Devices > Keyboard > Navigation 
'Switch windows'
alt-tab

Fine.  Working again.  But why isn't this the default?

Please bring back the classic behavior of alt-tab, i.e. "pressing alt-tab
takes you to the window that was previously in front".
