Bug Description
I run with two monitors, typically with full screen apps on both. Often times I have two firefox windows full screen on both screens, and then a Terminator on the larger screen for coding, with docs/tests/etc on the firefox on the other screen.
However, occasionally I alt-` to the other firefox window which will have something else relevant to my code in it. Subsequently, I alt-tab back to Terminator, and then need to look at that info again. I would expect alt-tab to take me back where I was. Instead, it takes me to the visible firefox window on the other screen.
This is *extremely* frustrating. I'd like for alt-tab to simply switch between apps, and not make choices about which window in that app based on visibility.
So, simple steps to reproduce:
* Assume multi-monitor
* Open a firefox window on each monitor, and maximize both
* Open a Terminator on one monitor and maximize it.
* alt-tab from Terminator to Firefox
* alt-` to the other non-visible Firefox window
* alt-tab to get back to Terminator
* alt-tab to get back to Firefox. The problem is that the active firefox window is not the last window that was active, but the one that is visible.
