           Summary: alt-tab is unsable when there are too many windows
           Product: kwin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwin kde org
        ReportedBy: knuckles gmail com


Version:            (using KDE 4.0.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Pidgin was just now misbehaving, and opened 150+ windows asking a question, but when I tried to use alt-tab to get to other apps, I couldn't: the alt-tab list contained only the items that fit vertically on the monitor, and when you got to the bottom it didn't scroll down, it restarted on the top of the list, so basically I could only alt-tab between x windows, where x is how many fit on the monitor.

It should be possible to scroll down the alt-tab list, if there isn't enough space to display all windows, and it would also be nice visually if the list didn't go from top to bottom of the monitor (i.e. leave some extra space, this way feels very cluttered).
