Description Radics Baltazár 2021-04-23 12:34:52 UTC 
I'm having an issue where the task switcher somehow changes the order of windows when a notification appears.

For example, if I have 3 windows open, I'm focused on window A, and my most recently used one is window B. Normally, pressing alt+tab takes me to window B, and pressing it again (after releasing alt) takes me back to A.  However, if B displays a notification, pressing alt+tab will instead take me to window C, and if I press alt+tab there (after releasing alt), it takes me to window B.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have at least 3 windows open.
2. Make one of them show a notification while it's not focused (e.g. `sleep 2; notify-send test-notif` in konsole, then switch away from it)
3. Alt+tab doesn't switch back to the most recently used window.

A screen recording of me reproducing the issue is available here: https://balti.desnull.hu/plasma-task-switcher-notifs.mp4

Can you also attach a screenshot of what System Settings > Window Management > Task Switcher looks like for you?

Here's the screenshot. In 'Alternative', I have no shortcuts configured.
