Description Hans de Goede 2011-04-04 14:52:46 UTC
Best described by a step by step:
1) Open 4 text terminals, arrange them in a 2x2 grid
2) Open firefox, make the window large enough to (partially) cover all 4 terms
3) Alt-tab to the terminal window group, all 4 are raised, last focussed one
   gets the focus
4) Close the focussed terminal
5) The focus now reverts to firefox and firefox gets raised over the
   3 remaining terminals

I realize this is discussable, but I personally find this sub-optimal, since the entire window group was selected in the alt tab, and all were raised, I would expect the focus to go to one of the other windows in the group, and the window stacking order to not change.

Not really discussable, just has been hanging around for a while as hard to fix codewise. :-)
