I have no custom extensions installed. Found it - in Gnome Tweaks I configured keyboard layout switching using the Alt+Shift key combination. Changing it to another one "fixes" Alt- Shift-Tab.
That sounds strange - why would that have an effect on Alt-Tab? In Windows Alt+Shift is the standard layout switch key combination *and* Alt-Shift-Tab also works somehow. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1929343 Title: Alt-Shift-Tab to Switch Windows in reverse direction not working Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I remember back in Ubuntu 14 (or 16) I was able to press Alt-Tab and then hold Shift to move across the windows in reverse direction. Now in Ubuntu 20.10 this no longer works. However, moving between applications (Super-Tab) does work in forward as well as reverse direction (while holding Shift). This is annoying when moving across many windows quickly, I sometimes "overshoot" by one, and then have to cycle all the way around again. So hereby a request to implement Alt-Shift-Tab for work similarly to Super-Shift-Tab.
