When I alt tab the first time to open up my tabs, it very often tabs forwards multiple times. Even when I make sure to press tab as quickly as possible without holding it, I'm often not where I expect to be, which makes it much more frustrating to use. MY main use case tends to be quickly swapping between 2 windows, so I don't even need to look at which one I'm swapping to, but since this has started happening, I need to look carefully to make sure I'm swapping to the right one. This didn't used to happen, so I'm wondering if it is a recent bug?

On a related note, I feel like the highlighting of which tab I'm selecting is really hard to see. I'd love a setting so I could make the highlighting darker or coloured or whatever, to match what works best for me. The previous issue is still a big problem, but it'd be easier to handle if the highlighting was more clear.
