Public bug reported: Occasionally I am unable to alt-tab between, say, the web browser that I am typing in now, and a terminal window I have open. Both web browser & terminal are full screen (as is the unity default). Both have more than 1 tab open.
Usually if I am 'in' the terminal, and alt-tab, I can bring up the web browser, and can then alt-tab back and forward a few time. However after a while 'in' the web browser, I press alt-tab and the LHS dock pops up and the terminal icon wiggles a bit. However the web browser is still taking up all the screen and the focus and is on top of the terminal. This essentially means I cannot switch active window. If I press alt-tab now it only repeats this (i.e. wigglying icon in dock). The only way to bring up the terminal is to move my mouse over to the dock & press the icon.
