Minimized windows don't go to bottom of alt-tab order

When a window is minimized, pressing alt-tab brings it right back again, as if it were the most recently used window. One would expect for mimimized windows to move to the end of the alt-tab order, as the least recently used window, as this is the behaviour of Microsoft Windows and in GNOME (Metacity). This problem is very annoying and I hope it can be fixed.

No, this is on purpose.
Comment 2 Olivier Fourdan editbugs 2009-01-17 17:45:06 CET
Well, actually, what you describe is the behaviour in 4.4 and what you want is already in 4.6, but the bug is reported against 4.6 so I am a bit confused.

In 4.4 => Minimize, alt-tab brings the window back
In 4.6 => Minimize, the window is sent to the end of the list
Comment 3 Olivier Fourdan editbugs 2009-01-17 17:47:35 CET
Ok, I understand, the bug is against 4.4. 4.4 will not be changed, but what you want is already in 4.6, closing as "worksforme"
