Hi,
Thank you for sharing these issues.
I couldn't reproduce the first issue. It works well in my tests. I wonder if the issue is not with Arc. Does the same thing happen for you if the window on top is TextEdit for instance?
I couldn't reproduce the second issue either. I don't get these phantom windows. Are you on the latest version Messenger? I tested with v220.1.0.5.212.
Thank you 🙇
Thanks for trying to reproduce it. The issue does not seem related to Arc; I tried with Finder and TextEdit instead of Arc (and with Arc not running) and ran into the same issue.
I tried with a new user account and it became impossible to reproduce either bug on a fresh setup. I downloaded some of the apps I normally use, and was eventually able to reproduce the bug again, but not reliably.
This bug appears to be a trickier to narrow down than I had previously thought! I'll spend some more time narrowing a reliably reproducible test case and will report back.
I am in quite a different situation but having a similar window not foreground issue on 15.0.1(24A348)with both AltTab 7.0.2 and 6.73.0.
When I use a software called XLD to open a disc, it will first read the disc by showing a progress bar window. After it is finished the progress bar window disappears and there will be a new XLD window pops up onto the foreground(this is how XLD works). After that AltTab can not foreground the popped-up XLD window even choose it in AltTab. I tried a few times but I also found the bug seems to be tricky when I restart or use a new user the issue is gone but it returns after several trials.
I also have the not appearing in foreground issue on some apps, namely Slack and Telegram. A restart of either AltTab or Slack fixes it for a bit, but after a while the issue reappears. Maybe thats why reproducing it is a bit tricky.
Describe the bug
The official Facebook Messenger app has some issues with AltTab. AltTab is great with all other apps I use, so the root cause of these issues is likely with Messenger itself.
I wanted to report the bugs anyway:
There are two bugs described below. Let me know if it would be helpful to split them into two separate issues.
Bug 1: AltTab sometimes doesn't foreground the main Messenger window
After the Messenger main window has been closed once, focusing it with AltTab doesn't bring it to the foreground.

Steps to reproduce the bug
Bug 2: Sometimes blank "Media Viewer" windows appear in the AltTab list
After the Messenger Media Viewer window has been closed, it still appears in the AltTab list when the Messenger app is hidden. Each time a photo is opened, it creates another such phantom window.
