Window Switcher: Active App and All open Apps not reliable

Bugs or Unexpected Behavior
1

Describe the bug

  • When using the action "Show Window Switcher for Active App" it sometimes opens the "Show Window Switcher for All Open Apps" version of the window switcher and vice versa

  • It also sometimes happens that it opens an empty Window Switcher

  • I already tried to restart macOS and BTT

I've seen this unexpected behavior with my mouse shortcuts for the window switcher and with my Floating Menu Buttons.

Screenshots

Device information:

  • Type of Mac: MacBook Pro M4
  • macOS version: 26.3
  • BetterTouchTool version: 6.198

Additional information (e.g. crash logs, related issues, etc.):

Does this only happen if there is no "app specific" window to show like in this scenario? (These things in general do not work well while the BTT UI is open due to some macOS restrictions)

I cannot reproduce the empty Window Switcher scenario - when BTT is closed. Thanks for the hint.

But, now the Window Switcher modes are completely opposite.

Is there anything I can do to provide further logs?

I guess it is a refresh issue, most likely it will work correctly if you trigger the same thing twice. I'll have a look, should be easy to fix!

After a quick check, I can confirm that the second trigger opens the right window switcher mode.

This should be resolved in 6.199
