Brave web apps closing immediately when AltTab is running

[mathiasandresen]

Describe the bug

Whenever AltTab is running, my Brave Web apps/shortcuts closes immediately after opening.
They quickly flash the menu bar.
When I close AltTab, the apps works as normal.

• macOS Big Sur 11.2.3 (20D91)
• MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020)

Hi @mathiasandresen

Have you shown this issue to the Brave staff? It sounds like it could be a bug on their side.

It may also be related to Big Sur (see https://github.com/lwouis/alt-tab-macos/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22big+sur%22). It would be interesting to test on Catalina or before.

I will try to show the issue to the Brave staff, it could be a problem with Brave.
I have tested it, and it seems to work fine with Chrome.
I do not have the ability to test this on Catalina, since this computer is my only Mac, and is a work computer.

Yeah, I can confirm this is a Brave issue. Apparently it was resolved a few days ago. For more info check out the Brave issue that recently got closed.
