I am finding that Alt-Tab does not work properly with MATLAB. Right now I have two MATLAB Windows open, and they both show up in Alt-Tab, but selecting one of them does not bring the window to the front. Earlier today, neither of the MATLAB windows was showing up in Alt-Tab at all. I am happy to help with debugging if there are any questions I can answer. Thanks!

There have been previous discussions around MatLab. I invite you to read them. AltTab is only reporting windows as they are. MatLab should probably add a fix on their side 👍

Regarding windows not showing up, it's likely to be due to #1324
