Alt-tab randomly gets stuck on select screen for unknown reason #3567
Comments
I'm facing same problem, sometime if I press Alt Tab too fast, the tab select automatically move from left to right until end of list of windows |
Hi, Thank you for sharing this issue. I can't reproduce it. I reproduced your exact inputs as well, and it doesn't get stuck. Only idea I have is that you may have other apps on your setup which intercept events, and absorb the keyUp event. This would mean AltTab doesn't see them, thus never goes away. Do you use BTT, Karabineer, external keyboards, logitech things, etc? Thank you 🙇 @qvanphong what you describe sounds more like #3117 |
I'm facing the same problem ever since i updated to sonoma. |
I use Karabiner, but I was also able to reproduce this bug with Karabiner completely turned off.
Isn't karabiner elements showing what the computer (?) is recording? |
Karabiner and BTT both listen to keyboard events, and do things with it. In some cases, they may absorb the event. For instance, if you set Karabiner to remap Could you please test with BTT and Karabiner not running, and no external keyboard? I think that should confirm if they were the cause, which is the most likely explanation. Thank you 🙇 |
I had the problem when updated to Sonoma. Then I disabled the blue capslock indicator popup in macos and now it seems working normal as before. |
I had the exact same issue for months, but have not found anyone else facing it. Finally there's someone else. I am also using Karabiner, but I can confirm that this also happens with Karabiner stopped. |
I have also experienced this issue on a brand new macbook also on Sonoma |
I unfortunately don't have a solution, but just bumping this since I am facing the same issue. Edit: If anyone just wants to make it work again, I suggest downgrading to version 6.63.0. This fixed the issue for me. |
@ILIAink I downgraded to 6.63.0. Unfortunately, it didn't fix the issue for me. |
Thank you @aoli-al |
No, I use Brave and it is not doing any input monitoring, this issue is really annoying I find myself constantly switching between Brave and VSC, I may have to find an alternative since it seems they are sleeping on this issue |
This happens constantly for me, to the point where AltTab becomes unusable. |
For me, disabling Karabiner's 3 input monitoring applications fixed it, re-enabling them still keeps the fix. Didn't have any other input monitoring apps enabled. |
The bug still persists for me, even after disabling monitoring apps. I am going to disable alt-tab and use macOS regular switcher, and see if it also gets stuck. Bug.still.alt.tab.mp4 |
This is happening when the mouse cursor is positioned over the AltTab popup. Hiding window thumbnails in AltTab Appearance settings helps with this as it reduces the chances of the cursor being over the popup area. |
Update: I had Karabiner Elements running, wasn't really using it anymore. Disabled it and restarted, and it looks like the problem is gone. |
just wanted to say, I was experiencing this issue but took @ILIAink suggestion of downgrading to 6.63.0 seemed to fix it for me |
I don't have Karabiner, the issue does arise when my mouse is somewhere around where the windows appear as @albionselimaj mentioned, it would be nice to add a feature to disable entirely disable cursor as an easy fix, or maybe disable it when its not moving? Would be nice if a dev answers |
Hi, A lot of cases in this threads have been confirmed to be caused not by AltTab having a bug, but by another app stealing a keyboard input. It's hard to investigate more without being able to ever reproduce the issue on my machine. Soon, we'll add a logger to AltTab. It will allow for casual users to share logs here. These will help us investigate such issues that happen only on some people setups. Thank you 🙇 |
Any solution regarding the cursor being on the way of the windows making the cycle get stuck, even cycling by itself? I'll provide a video. Screen.Recording.2024-09-14.at.20.15.46.mov |
I was testing different versions trying to figure out, which one does not have the issue mentioned, because I had it. I tried all version starting from 6.63.0 up to the latest one. I do not have a slightest idea why, but the issue fixed itself and currently I am not experiencing it on the latest version. Weird. |
