Description Adam Buchbinder 2006-08-20 23:22:25 UTC 
The Alt-tab order for apps reorders when you tab to a window. (Say the order is 1, 2, 3, with 1 being on top. If you alt-tab to window 3, then the order will be 3, 1, 2.) This does not happen when one of these windows has a modal dialog open.

To replicate:

1. Open gedit, and some other windows. (Nautilus windows will do, as long as there's more than one.)
2. Type some nonsense into the gedit window. Hit CTRL-Q to pop up the "Save the changes?" dialog.
3. Alt-tab to one or more of the other open windows. Then alt-tab back to gedit. 
4. At this point, gedit should be at the top of the alt-tab list, but it is not. It cannot, as long as it has a modal dialog open, move up in the list, only down.

I am using metacity 1:2.14.3-0ubuntu2 on Ubuntu Dapper.
