Big Sur - Command + Tab is automatically rearranging topmost app window

I recently upgraded to Big Sur.


Now whenever I use Command + Tab to switch between apps, when it switches to the selected app, if that app has multiple windows opened, it automatically switches to one of the windows (the "default" window -- I think it's the last one opened), instead of leaving the current top-most window on top.


So I am constantly having to change windows to get back to my top window after having used Cmd + Tab to switch between apps.


This wasn't he behavior before I upgraded to Bug Sur.


Does anyone know how to change it to remain on the currently top-most window in the newly selected app?

Your tagline shows "MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.1"


Have you upgraded to 11.2 yet? I just tried to recreate the situation you mention, by opening of several instances of Safari. Whenever I use app switcher, it correctly takes me back to whichever one was last in (on top). Since I never tried this particular scenario, prior to upgrading to 11.2, I can't speak to how it behaves in 11.1 instead.
