WIth the release of 14.10, compiz-plugin-extras are not packaged anymore and fallback to the static window switcher (recommended everywhere when this issue is mentionned) is not easily feasible anymore. Users are bound to the default unity switcher's painful time delay.
This switcher behavior is ridiculous and counterproductive, as mentionned many times in this thread, there should be an option to disable grouping and/or have a way to go back to a switcher that resembles the static one (live preview yet no grouping). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

The only thing that bothers me is the window grouping, as described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1826736 quote: MY Question is if its possible to disable the "Grouping" part... such as having multiple nautilus windows. Primarily thunderbird is the largest annoyance.. if im writing an email on my laptop and accedentally (touchpad 'palming') off the 'compose message' window; by default and second nature, my brain tells my fingers to alt-tab back into it. unfortunately, this DOES NOT WORK! Basically, I am trying to restore Alt+Tab functionality from Unity 2D. I tried number of other switchers, all have their separate issues. For example, Static Application Switcher does not show minimalized windows (or windows hidden by the "show desktop" shortcut), etc. Thanks :) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: unity 6.10.0-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-18.29-generic 3.5.7 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-18-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu6 Architecture: i386 CompizPlugins: [core,composite,opengl,decor,move,regex,gnomecompat,vpswitch,mousepoll,resize,place,grid,compiztoolbox,snap,imgpng,unitymtgrabhandles,session,animation,workarounds,wall,expo,ezoom,fade,scale,unityshell] Date: Mon Nov 26 10:06:10 2012 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2010-05-17 (924 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release i386 (20100429) MarkForUpload: True ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: unity UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to quantal on 2012-10-03 (53 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1083084/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : dx-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
