You are right. It reassess the order of windows when you change application. And here I just thought I was bad at keeping track of my windows.

Another thing I noticed just now is you can browse to no-window-selected using cmd+`

As far as I can tell, the logic is the following, with numbers representing order of creation, with 0 being no window:

    [3,2,1,0]
If you switch app with window 3 selected, the order is maintained. If you switch with window 2 selected, the new order will be

    [2,3,1,0]
if you switch with window 1 selected, the new order will be

    [1,2,3,0]
If you switch with window 0 (no window) selected the new order will be

    [0,1,2,3]

The amazing thing is, there is an entire company (Apple Computer) full of thousands of people that have to use this every single day ... what the fuck ?

How do they manage to not fix this ? How do they live/cope with this ?

One theory is that there are no power users at apple computer - just a bunch of people mouse-mouse-mousing around their computer all day, every day. I think that's unlikely.

OSX power users that actually work at apple ... why don't you get this fixed ? I live with this pain because I have no way to do anything about it ... why do you live with this pain ?
