Show only active window in the group in the alt tab menu

February 14, 2024 10:23 AM from

Hi, I love groupy 2, but there is only one thing the really bothers me, when I change the option: "How should taskbar buttons for Grouped windows appear" to "Show only active window", the taskbar change, but the alt tab menu show all the windows in the group, this behavior is different from group 1, where it showed only the currant selected window in the alt tab menu. To mitigate this bug, there are some steps you can take:

0. Create a group of windows

1. Select the option: Show only active window

2. Select the option: Show only one combined bottom

3. Then go through each windows in the group

I don't think this solution is good because it's not persistent or consistent. It would be nice it this was fixed.

A video o me demonstrating the problem. Sorry for the bad quality, no idea why OBS recording looks so bad. If you can't see in the video the windows version number is: 23H2 22631.1.3007

This is not actually a bug.

The windows not showing in v1 was the bug as it causes other parts of Windows to break.

Unfortunately Windows uses the same list for alt tab, the taskbar and virtual desktops and anything not on the taskbar ends up on every single desktop.

Why doing that sequence of operations make the windows not show on the alt tab then?
It still does that on the latest version
