Describe the bug If you switch away from an app that is streaming something in fullscreen mode (ie, a youtube video), that app's taskbar item will disappear permanently.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Watch a video on YouTube on your browser in fullscreen mode (ie, press F key to make the video itself fullscreen - not the app).
  2. Press CMD+Tab to switch apps without first minimizing the video (or any other command to make a different app gain focus in front of the video)
  3. Note that the browser showing the fullscreen video (now located in the background) will no longer have a taskbar item present.

Expected behavior Browser playing the full-screen video in the background should still have a taskbar item.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Hello. Thanks for the bug report. This is actually not a bug. The way Taskbar works at the moment is the only windows from the current Space are shown. When a video is fullscreened, it now has its own fullscreen Space along with the window it is a part of (so, the browser window). There has been a feature request to show windows from other spaces (https://github.com/lawand-dot-io/taskbar/discussions/39) but it was not implemented because the macOS API doesn't allow that in a reliable way. Sorry that I can't give more help on this. Feel free to reach out if you have other questions. Thanks
