This is a rather old bug and is sitting stale. Since no one responded to Andrea on his 2014-12-01 inquiry about being able to reproduce this, I'm going to mark it fixed as some prior release probably fixed it.
If this still does occur, then we can reopen this bug or open a new one. ** Changed in: unity Status: Incomplete => Fix Released ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Released ** Changed in: unity Assignee: Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0) => (unassigned) ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Assignee: Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0) => (unassigned) ** Changed in: unity Milestone: 7.3.3 => None -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

See attached photograph of it occurring. I can make it happen at will: 1) Cold boot into Ubuntu. 2) Open gnome-terminal. 3) Open Firefox. 4) Press alt+tab. alt+tab window only shows Desktop and Firefox. In attached screenshot, note that gnome-terminal has a highlighted background and arrow, indicating an instance of it running, as is Firefox.
