Switching App focus between Desktops

Hey All-


I've been stuck on what seems to be a simple issue. I cannot find a clear answer here.


Switching between apps in different Desktops.


Example:

Need to switch back and forth a lot between Safari and Photoshop.

Each app is the only app open.

Working in Desktop 1 with Safari.

Working in Desktop 3 with Photoshop.


I use Command-Tab.


Working in Safari (and vice versa): Using Command-Tab it shows in the Menu Bar that it is switching to Photoshop. But the app screen focus does not switch to Photoshop in Desktop 3. It remains on Safari.

This occurs with any app between Desktops.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

In System Preferences -> Mission Control do you have the option "When switching to an application, switch to a Space with open windows for the application" enabled?
