I forgot to mention I have turned on this behavior from the Static Windows Manager
Described here http://askubuntu.com/questions/118152/static-application-switcher-is- empty-after-show-dekstop Another thing is that when i click some icon of the tray like Battery Icon and the menu shows this also disables the ALT + TAB showing. All these different settings for ALT + TAB through Static Application Switcher, Application Switcher, Unity plugin... e.t.c. seem very confusing to me. That would be really nice to clean up somehow. ** Changed in: unity Status: Expired => New ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.
