Public bug reported: When using alt-tab to switch between windows, it may lead to a situation where the user doesn't know which tab is currently selected, because there are many different highlights depending on WHICH application is opened, not their states. This can lead to a condition where the user expects an application to be in focus when it might not be true. See attached screenshot for clarification Observe that a quick glance of the Terminal Icon could lead one to interpret it as having focus. Only the title being placed underneath the window gives it away. But when a user is fast-switching to another window, they rely more on quick visual clues than complete analysis of everything presented to them. Also, why is eog's icon highlighted in YELLOW(!) here?
