CMD+Tabbing between apps brings background window to foreground bug

[ghostlines]

Hello,

Has anyone run into this issue? Example:

2 Safari windows open. I CMD+Tab to another app then back to Safari -> Safari window that was behind active Safari window jumps to foreground. This kills a workflow making me have to constantly then CMD+`. It occurs with all apps, recently only noticed this on Big Sur.

Nothing like that happens on my machine. Cmd-tab should do nothing more than activate the chosen app. Are you sure you're not accidentally hitting cmd-`?

Such a phenomenon does not occur in my environment.

@chabig I've attached a screen recording with keypresses that displays the weirdness. Sending to Apple as well

Very weird indeed.

Yes! This has recently started happening to me as well. I don't remember noticing it before the 11.3.1 update.

So far I've noticed it bringing the wrong window to the foreground with VSCode and Chrome, so it's not just a Safari issue.
