I am happy to provide any info you would need to resolve this issue.

There's another ticket about Android Studio showing ghost windows sometimes: #1056 The author also provided a PR to fix the issue.

This seems to imply to me that Android Studio shows in AltTab for other people.

Could you please share a video of the issue in motion, so we understand better what is missing, how/when it happens, etc?

[sudhirkhanger]

For me the issue is that the Android Studio window just doesn't show up in the view in AltTab. The number of window is listed as 6 in debug but in the AltTab view only shows 5 excluding the Android Studio.

If I restart AltTab then the missing window reappears.

I will try to get you some visual confirmation as soon as it happens again.

@sudhirkhanger I'm guessing that the window may be fullscreen, and that this ticket may be duplicate of #1002

@lwouis I can see full screen instances of Android Studio fine.

I haven't been able to reproduce this bug in a while for some reason. You may close this issue for now if you want and I can reopen it in future if when I encounter it.
