PhpStorm 2021.3 window management change
Just updated my PHPStorm to version 2021.3.1 on mac.
I normally have 3 or 4 PHPStorm projects open in different windows. With the update, when I command + tab from my browser back to PHPStorm, it now focuses back on the first PHPStorm instance opened, when before it would focus on the last used instance.
This means every time I switch from my browser back, I get the wrong instance. This totally kills my workflow.
Is there any way around this in settings or that this could be reverted?

As you can see, I have two project windows open, and I can switch from Firefox back to either of them. It's Monterey 12.1 and PhpStorm 2021.3.2.
Would that still happen if you have only two projects open? Are you using Witch by any chance?
Hi Eugene, thanks for taking the time to look at this.
So spot on, yes I am using Witch. But this definitely wasn't an issue while using witch until that update, that's the strange thing. And I definitely haven't updated witch.
Hi David! Yep, unfortunately, the IntelliJ platform doesn't work with Witch very well due to the way we interact with the Accessibility API.
We have IDEA-174742, but it's a different issue and not a recent one as well, so probably it's worth submitting a new one.
Could you please use the following link and submit a new bug report?
