Command-Tab doesn't bring PyCharm window to foreground in OS X

I'm posting this in the hope that someone else has encountered the same issue:

I've got an application open in full-screen (usually Terminal, but it can be any app). When I attempt to switch to PyCharm using cmd-tab (Command-Tab), the menu bar changes to that of PyCharm, but the window in the foreground is that of a different application. I've got to press another series of keys in order to get PyCharm to come to the fore of the window stack (cmd, then shift-tab with cmd depressed).

Initially, I thought this to be an Apple bug, but, of 11 applications I've got open, only PyCharm and Chrome exhibit this behavior.

Switching between PyCharm and other applications that are not fullscreen does not produce this behavior.

Environment

OS: Mac OS X v10.7.4

PyCharm: 117.376 (2.5.1)

Java: 1.6.0_31

Hi Ted Cassirer 

 

I am unable to replicate this (M1 Max, PyCharm 2025.1.3.1)

This thread is quite old (original post 13 years old) and reported in dated OS/PyCharm versions,

Have you check this article if it is possibly related to your case? 

If not, would you please reach out with a youtrack ticket and possibly also provide a screen capture to show the behaviour ? 

Kind regards,

 

I'm facing the same issue. In my case, it seems it only happens with the latest version, that accompanies the new UI.

@Bruno Ambrozio , are you trying to switch window to a minimized PyCharm? Here a similar thread discussing this behavior.

No this happens when cmd+tabing between e.g. browser and pycharm or between intelliJ and pyCharm, or any app really.

This also happens to me. But switching to PyCharm twice brings up the window, which isn't a great user experience. I'm on a M1 Pro and latest version of PyCharm
