Bug Description

WORKAROUND: Use ALT + TAB to switch windows

Binary package hint: xfce4-panel

If I have more than 5 or 6 open windows now with everything squeezed into one panel, I get one or 2 drop downs in the panel. The problem is that they don't switch windows.

i can confirm this issue in natty.
when grouping is activated (set to "always"), there's a dropdown-list of the respective windows, but clicking an item in the list doesn't bring the window forward, instead nothing happens.
