Should have read further down before my last reply. Looks like you're
playing around with window switcher already.
OK, you may want to try removing the "warp mouse while selecting" option.
That's probably responsible for the selection behaviour you're observing.
Basic explanation:
- Original order: A, B, C, D, E
- Press Alt-Tab.
Selection order on screen: A, B (selected), C, D, E.
Underlying order changed to B, A, C, D, E.
This order applies if you press Alt-Tab from scratch.
- Hold Alt, press Tab.
Selection order on screen: A, B, C (selected), D, E.
Underlying order: C, B, A, D, E.
... and so on. Follow it to its logical conclusion, and you'll get that
order which you're seeing. The "warp mouse while selecting" should hopefully
prevent the underlying order being changed, until you actually let go of Alt.
