Description Ross Cohen 2005-08-23 17:25:42 UTC 
Hold Alt and press Esc twice with some overlapping windows. Now try Alt+Esc-ing
again. Note that the correct stacking order is not reflecting by the apparent
stacking order, since windows are raised by Alt+Esc but never lowered again if
you go past them.

Makes sense to me.  The patch has one bug but only because of another bug--if
you alt-tab a few times then press alt-esc, then alt-tab again then the window
raised by the alt-esc isn't lowered.  Since mixing alt-tab and alt-esc is kind
of a bug anyway we probably don't need to worry about that here.

Havoc?

	Patch from Ross Cohen to make alt-esc consistent with alt-tab by
	leaving stacking of unselected windows unchanged.  Fixes #314285.

	* src/keybindings.c (process_tab_grab): before raising and showing
	the next candidate, reset the stack positions to what they were
	at the beginning of the grab
