Recently, the alt-tab behavior on one of my GNU/Linux
boxes has been
driving me nuts: when I press alt-tab, the switcher only shows other
windows that are on the *_same screen_* as the one that was
active/current/front at the time I pressed alt-tab. With windows
spread across two screens, this is _very_ annoying....
I'm not sure I
understand your meaning of "screen". In X, two or more physical
displays making up a single workspace is considered "a" screen. Is this what
you
have? Are you describing the use of multiple virtual desktops (accessible via the
pager)?
14.0.8 on Jessie, as old as anything I seem to be able to find here, seems to work
exactly as expected here:

I agree with Mike's suggestion to upgrade.
