Command-Tab doesn't switch to Indesign document
I use Command-Tab constantly on MacOS to switch between Indesign and other open apps on my system. In ID2019, when I use the shortcut to switch back to ID from another app, it no longer consistently brings the frontmost open ID document into focus. Instead what happens is the palettes will come in to view but the frontmost window of the app I'm switching from is still on top of the open ID file. This doesn't happen all the time, but when it does it's very annoying. I am most often switching between ID and Acrobat Pro or Google Chrome and this behavior seems to happen no matter the other open apps on my system.

Use "Command-Tab" plus the "Option" key
I've had this issue on and off for years. I recently found a fix: When switching to InDesign using Command-Tab, add the Option key when choosing InDesign. This fixes the problem until I shut down.
When you startup the next time, you'll have to use the Option key again to fix it.

Eu tenho o mesmo problema e estou procurando uma solução. O atendimento da Apple não soube solucionar. O atendente apenas disse acreditar ser um problema dos programas da Adobe.
Como permitem um erro tão grave e não o solucionam? -

I have the same issue. I have to reboot to get fix it, but the problem returns quickly again.
I have also had the same issue with Photoshop. -

Same here. Just fingered it out that it's InDesign. Quitting the app fixes the issue immediately.

Did you ever get to the bottom of this problem? This is the only page I can find on the web mentioning the issue and there's no solution.
I'm wondering if it's one of my Mac system extensions or plugins that's causing the glitch but, before I start trying to track it down I'm wondering if either of you figured it out?
