Say I have Firefox and several Document Viewer windows open. When I switch apps to Document Viewer and close the current window I expect the next Document Viewer window to get focus. What instead happens is that I am switched to Firefox.



How do I get the behaviour I want?

  • @GeorgeUdosen that's the name of the other app. Substitute any other app and the behaviour is the same.
