Hi,
Since the last update when I have e.g. two VS Code windows, one of them in focus it will not show any VS code window at all in the list when pressing Alt-Tab.I did not touch any settings and they seems all fine.
As this is my main purpose for having Alt-Tab (bein able to switch same programm different windows) this is unusable for me at the moment.

Second this issue! To go into more detail:
After updating to MacOS Tahoe window previewing does not work while in StageManager. AltTab is able to preview any windows actively displayed on the screen (ie. those not minimized in stage manager) but is unable to display previews for other apps. AltTab still recognizes the windows, but cannot get the preview.
AltTab still works correctly in non-Stage Manager environments.
Would love to learn more about this issue, and help contribute to a solution
I second this issue.
Since some recent update (AltTab or MacOS?), all the windows of currently focused App are not in the list of previews/thumbnails of AltTab.
To re-iterate without screenshots.
Suppose you have 3 windows open, AppA, AppB, AppC, with currently focused being AppA. When you initiate tabbing out, the order of previews/thumbnails looks like (I'll highlight in bold the active selection in preview):
Before: AppA, AppB, AppC
Now: AppB, AppC
When I exit AltTab and use native UI, the behavior is as expected (as "Before" above).
System and versions:
MacBook Pro (2023), M2 cpu
OS: MacOS Sequoia 15.7
AltTab: 7.28.0
UPDATE:
running AltTab 7.30 + MacOS 15.7.1 I still had this issue, but then I decided to reset the preferences and configure everything fresh, and now it seems to work as expected.
