How it is today:
Ctrl-Tab switches to the next tab.
Shift-Ctrl-Tab switches to the previous tab.
It doesn't make a difference if you release Ctrl in between the Tab-presses.
How it should be (standard behavior in Windows when switching between multiple documents, this is also how Alt-Tab works in Windows):
As long as you hold Ctrl pressed, it should cycle between all windows.
When you release Ctrl, it should put move the window to the front (as a queue). So pressing Ctrl-Tab again should switch to the previous window. Pressing Ctrl-Tab-Tab should switch to the 2nd most recently used window, Pressing Ctrl-Tab-Tab-Tab should switch to the 3rd most recently used window, etc.
It's a little bit hard to explain, but just try out the Alt-Tab feature in Windows and it will become more clear.
With the current behavior, you can't use Ctrl-Tab to repeatedly switch between the most recently used windows, so the whole point of the Ctrl-Tab feature is lost.
Reproducible: Always

Ooops, little typo here. What I was mean is:
> When you release Ctrl, it should move the window to the front of an internal queue.
> When you release Ctrl, it should put move the window to the front (as a queue).
Ooops, little typo here (again). What I was trying to say is:
> When you release Ctrl, it should move the window to the front of an internal queue.

switching between different windows is Alt-tab , not ctrl-tab

ctrl-tab does /not/ work like alt-tab ! It cycles from left to right.

Peter, yes, but Ctrl-Tab is used to switch between multiple child windows (in MDI-programs).
