focused_window_app_name & focused_window_title blank in latest updates

Bugs or Unexpected Behavior
1

Hi,

I've spent more than two hours fumbling with System Permission, Presets, etc., trying to see why my triggers using these conditions stopped working. These two variables (maybe more) are showing blank when looking at the Advanced Conditions screen in a trigger. They never get a value.

Noticed that BTT recently updated; had a spare MacBook, tested there and it was working before updating; after updating to latest (695, 692), those variables never get a value. Downgraded to one month back (672) and they work again.

Somewhere in between something seems to have broken and those stopped working.

Thanks.

Hello, it seems I'm still seeing this behaviour now, working in the viewer but not when I close the advanced conditions window. I'm on version 4.796, I'm trying to detect the Raycast's spotlight window

raycast most likely never focuses its window, which is why it’s hard to detect. You might need to use the visible_window_list variable and check whether that contains raycast

Hey, that worked! Big thanks, and I appreciate the super speedy response.
