Description Christopher C. Mills 2019-06-06 19:52:10 UTC 
Created attachment 120638 [details]
System Settings->Window Management->Task Switcher

SUMMARY
Task Switcher alt-tab doesn't tab in "recently used" order even when selected under Task Switcher in system settings

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Ensure "recently used" is selected for sort order in System Settings->Window Management->Task Switcher
2. Open 4 or 5 app windows
3. Note active window
4. Alt tab to another arbitrary window
5. Alt tab once to get back to last window

OBSERVED RESULT
The last "recently used" window does not come up

EXPECTED RESULT
The active window noted in step 3, above, should become the active window again  when "recently used" is selected for sort order in the task switcher configuration.

Plasma 5.8 is no longer maintained. Please update to version 5.12 LTS, 5.15, or newer.

Thank you for your prompt reply!

Duh, on my part. I just assumed a distribution upgrade to Debian Stretch would have me on at least a currently supported release of KDE. I will be more careful in the future before posting bug reports...
