3.5.1 -> 3.5.2: alt-tab doesn't work the way it used to

Upgraded from 3.5.1 to 3.5.2 on Kubuntu Breezy, and found that Alt+Tab no longer behaves as it used to.

In 3.5.1, A+T (held down) would display a list of active windows, across all desktops (if so configured), and you could pick the one you wanted to activate.

In 3.5.2, A+T just hops to a random (to me) active window on another desktop. This is totally different, and is driving me nuts.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I don't have Kubuntu, so I cannot check it out for you. However, does this option exist: System Settings -> Desktop -> Window behaviour -> Focus tab -> Under Navigation check the 'Traverse windows on all desktops'

Unfortunately, this is already set. I upgraded from 3.5.1 to 3.5.2, without changing anything in ~/.kde/, and the behaviour has changed on me.

If you're running 3.5.2 and not experiencing this, it's either a compile issue for the package, or one of my config files isn't behaving right and I need to clean out .kde.

All works OK for me on 3.5.2... but sometimes the settings go AWOL when you upgrade - so turn that setting OFF, log out KDE, log in, then change the setting back ON again - this will set it correctly.

Worth a try, thanks :) Will do it when I'm back at work.
