Description cameron.w 2024-09-16 17:41:30 UTC
SUMMARY
When I have applications open, and switch through them via Alt + Tab, whatever application I have open is not ignoring the Tab key when I walk through open windows. This is especially annoying when my active application is my IDE.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open several applications, one being a text editor of any kind.
2. Click onto the text editor, with the cursor active on a page of text.
3. Press Alt + Tab to cycle through windows

OBSERVED RESULT
The active window (the text editor) will register that the user has typed Tab as if Alt is not pressed, resulting in several &nbsp's being placed in a line.

EXPECTED RESULT
The active window should ignore the Tab key being pressed when Alt is also pressed.
