Description Takehiko Abe 2011-07-03 05:53:49 UTC

It takes at minimum 2 + 1 = 3 windows to reproduce the problem.

1. Open firefox and gnome-terminal
2. Move to firefox.

3. Open a new window of firefox. Now there are 3 windows in total
   and the z-order is firefox window 1, firefox window 2 and a
   gnome-terminal window from the front to the bottom.

4. Switch to gnome-terminal with Alt+Tab. This brings
   gnome-terminal window to the front.

5. Switch back to Firefox with Alt+Tab. gnome-shell sends the
   gnome-terminal window to under two firefox windows. So the
   z-order of windows is firefox window 1, firefox window 2, and
   gnome-terminal window from the front to the bottom.

6. Close the firefox window in the foreground. This should bring
   another firefox window to the front because it was right under
   the front firefox window and above the gnome-terminal window.
   But instead, the gnome-terminal window is brought to the front
   causing the severe cognitive disorientation to the user.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 17:47:41 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
