I have touchbar buttons to launch applications that show up when I press the option key. ('launch application' predefined action)
When I switch applications using these buttons it always shows the default touchbar behavior and ignores my preference to 'show bettertouchtool touch bar'.
When I use command tab to switch applications the preference to show the bettertouchbar touch bar works fine.
This also happens when I use the app switcher widget.
Still having trouble with this behaviour. If switching applications with the option or keys held down, the proper touchbar group will show initially, but as soon as I release the modifier key it will disappear. If I press another key at before releasing the held key it will let me keep the active group open.
