Alt + tab freezes screen #237

Open Subodh-Bny opened 3 weeks ago

Using alt tab sometimes freezes the whole screen and there is no way to solve it unless you force restart the PC

Same here.

Same here, in my case the only other option rather than force restarting is force closing all programs (ALT + F4)

I got this bug too

JE-Amouel commented 1 week ago

I had the same problem under gnome 45, but it turns out that it was due to a conflict with another extension which also triggered when I did alt+tab,

Do you think this could also be the case for you?

dsheeler commented 1 week ago

Sorry for my silence on this issue. I have never had a freeze myself. It probably is not a bug in the extension, but likely as @JE-Amouel suggests caused with a conflict with another extension.

Can anyone with this issue send steps to reproduce?

czareq089 commented 1 week ago

For me personally, I can no longer reproduce this issue so it seems kind of weird. Anyway here are the extensions that I use and these are not the cause of conflict.

For me the conflict occurs with aatws which is also an alt+tab switch, and which also provides a dock mode which I find much more productive, so I do not use the alt+tab with this extension, and i prefer to use alt+tab with coverflow.

On version 42.9 of GNOME, the two extensions do not conflict, coverflow overwrite the alt+tab behavior of aatw, so I can use coverflow with alt+tab and at the same time , aatws with is dock mode. But on GNOME versions 45+, when I install aatws and coverflow the two conflict; reason why I made this feature request #239

so the steps to reproduce on my side are:
