Inconsistent Safari Window Switching Behavior with CMD + Tab Shortcut in Full Screen Mode
Product: MacBook Air 2020 (Intel)
OS Version: macOS Ventura 13.3.1
Application: Safari
Description:
While using Safari in full-screen mode with two separate windows open, the behavior of the CMD + Tab shortcut seems inconsistent. The command does not consistently bring up the desired window even after rearranging the windows in the correct sequence. The issue is specifically observed when trying to download a document by dragging and dropping files between the two windows.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open Safari and create two separate windows.
- Switch both Safari windows to full-screen mode.
- Open Finder and select a file for dragging and dropping.
- Click and hold on the file to initiate the drag operation.
- While still holding the mouse button on the file, press CMD + Tab to switch to the desired Safari window.
Expected result:
The CMD + Tab shortcut should consistently bring up the next window in the sequence defined by the user, allowing the user to drop the file into the desired window.
Actual result:
The CMD + Tab shortcut does not always bring up the expected window, even while holding a file for a drag and drop operation, and after rearranging the windows in the desired sequence.
