Summary: When a window is maximized, Alt+Tab does not switch context to the selected window. Steps to reproduce: 1) Open a few windows (Firefox and Midori in my case). 2) Press F11 to full-screen one. 3) Press Alt+Tab to cycle to the next window - the window switcher will pop up, however releasing Alt does not cause the view to change.

Which version do you run (xfwm4 --version)? I believe this is fixed, I can't reproduce with current git version.
