Description Albert Astals Cid 2014-11-15 22:46:26 UTC 
I already fixed this issue in kwin4, sad to see it back in kwin5.

How to reproduce:
 * Have 5 apps open
 * Alt+tab to the last one
 * Press Alt+tab (without releasing the Alt)
 * See how the highlight focus travels from the 5th icon to the 2nd

The fix in kwin4 is http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kde-workspace.git&a=commit&h=76d24ca7feb613413d3d6f307191b6c5fad78d50

If someone can point me where to fix this in kwin5 i'd be happy to try a similar fix.

Looks fixed to me, at least the highlight doesn't move at all here anymore
Comment 2 Kai Uwe Broulik 2015-02-18 17:20:28 UTC 
Nevermind, I overlooked the "big icons" switcher.
Comment 3 Thomas Lübking 2015-02-18 17:35:42 UTC 
The bug (or not) here seems that the currently active window is moved to the first position, ie. the icon list is not static. Correct perception?
Comment 4 Albert Astals Cid 2015-02-18 18:37:51 UTC 
The currently active window is moved to the first position, yes that's how it's supposed to work, the bug is that the highlight should not move from where it was last time to where it should be now, i.e. let's say you have 5 windows and you select the 4th, now the 4th will be the first, when you do alt+tab the highlight has to go to the 2nd, so it should move from 1st to 2nd position, but instead it moves from 4th to 2nd which is totally counter intuitive

Kill animated highlight in tabbox

It's super annoying and distracting, also makes it consistent with most of Plasma's ListViews.
