Showing/hiding widgets and buttons with modifier keys inside Button groups doesn't work properly

See the Screenshot below.
Basically Widgets and buttons that should appear only when a modifier key is pressed do not appear, Widgets that should disappear once you push this button aren't shown at all.
This happens only inside a button group, if the widgets or buttons are copied directly to the "Global" List they appear and disappear as they should.

Affected input device: Touch Bar (inside groups)

Any ideas?
Thanks, have a great evening :slightly_smiling_face:

Seems to work fine here, are you sure it's not the other one showing? (Try to set a different size for both, then you should see them switching when option is pressed)

Ok, this brings up the "normal" Application switcher (the one that's not associated with ⌘Q).
Still both of them do not respond to any modifier key (⌥ here, I also tried to change them without success).
The bar looks like this now, but the idea would be that once I hold ⌥, the normal app Switcher disappears in order to bring up the one that quits the apps [edit: and the Textbutton "Quit:", that should not have been there without any modifier key].

I think the problem may be that the system thinks you are executing cmd+opt+q in that case.
You can try whether the correct widget is executed by assigning an action like "Show HUD" or expose.

Try instead of cmd+q to assign the "Run Apple Script" predefined action and run a script like this one:

tell application (path to frontmost application as text)
	quit
end tell

None of them working (HUD or the apple script as attached), in both cases the modifier keys settings are ignored regarding less the key (tried also with ⇧, failed too).

If I just copy the original content of the Touch Bar Button Group out of the group directly into the Global Section, they appear and disappear perfectly.

Sorry, I didn't realize you where using it in a group.
Could you try whether 2.697 (just uploaded) fixes this for you?

Perfect, thank you!!

Honestly, thank you. This really drove me nuts :smiley: And compliments for the great job you do, the program itself is already awesome, but your support is exemplary :+1:t3:
