Cmd-Tab no longer works on iPad Pro with external Apple bluetooth keyboard when an App is opened

Hi there,

At the moment the Cmd-Tab shortcut doesn’t seem to work anymore, when an app is opened (active). It works on the main screen only, but once you choose any from the running apps, you can’t switch back or jump to another app. In some thread I red that it may help to attach the IPad Pro to an external monitor through a plug or so, but I don’t have one. Apparently that very thread is sort of old and nothing happens in there, so I thought I’d give it a go and ask, what’s the current status of this issue?

Ps. I’ve tried to disable the keyboard completely and re-sync it once again (with reboot or without), but to no avail.

Setup:

IPad pro 12.9” / iOS 13.3.1 / wifi + cell

Smart Keyboard

External Apple magic keyboard A1314

Ps. It used to work on previous version of the iOS. That’s for sure.

iPad Pro, iOS 13

Thanks for the replay. I did the update to 13.4 and guess what - the Cmd-Tab is just fine on both keyboards, but now the scrolling with the mouse is not working... It’s similar to https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/130486. Interesting thing is the scrolling is NOT working only in few apps...I’ve tested it in Safari :D , Chrome, and few others...Anyway at least the switching between apps is just fine now. :/
