Focus issues

[xtrageneric]

Apps like Microsoft Teams (and a few others, but I cannot seem to remember which) show up in the carousel, but Alt Tab app does not shift focus to Teams when selected. When you land on teams in the carousel and release the keys, focus stays on the apps/programs that you had focus on before. Focus should have shifted to Teams.

Good Sample of Teams Problem.mp4.zip

• AltTab version: Version 7.19.1
• macOS version: 15.3 (24D60)
• Other relevant info: Issue persists on laptop only experience + when docked with multiple monitors.

I'm making this the master ticket for focus issues

Can reproduce this (also specifically Teams, but sometimes also other apps, I'll try to write them down if it happens again).

EDIT: additional info, the focus is probably switched, as the menu bar does change to Teams, and the current window (I'm switching between Chrome and Teams) goes out of focus, however, the Teams window is not brought to the foreground.

@lwouis I also found that it has trouble shifting focus to the ChatGPT app on Mac. Same MacOS version as above and here is the ChatGPT version: 1.2025.031 (1738605767)

@lwouis @burgerga I can also confirm that when trying to shift to Teams or ChatGPT, the menu bar does change to the target app and the current window goes out of focus, but the target application/window does not get brought to the foreground.

And can confirm it's happening for chatgpt for me too!
