In snow leopard there used to be an option that forced Exposé's "Application Windows" shortcut to show only the active windows of an application's on the present desktop.

I can't find this option in Lion, and I desperately miss it.

Say I have two workspaces each with four terminal windows (each set of terminals connecting to a specific server) and a third workspace with one terminal window sitting around. Pressing the "Application windows" shortcut now shows me all nine windows, and just to add to the confusion OS X Lion switches away from the present workspace to the workspace most recently used!

In my view it contradicts the very purpose of "Spaces" since a workspace is used to unclutter all the active apps and windows.
