Microsoft Remote Desktop not coming to front after selection

[alt-tab-macos-bot]

This issue was opened by a bot after a user submitted feedback through the in-app form.

Message:

In some recent update, my RDP window have stopped coming to the front once selected with alt-tab. If I quit alt-tab, the native macos cmd-tab does bring the instance to the front, but when alt-tab is running, it does not. RDP is made the active app as evidenced by the top menu changing to "Microsoft Remote Desktop" - but the app window itself will be covered by whatever other app was most forward prior to switching.

I'm fairly sure this worked as expected until recently.

Keep up the good work. I'm not sure I'd stick with a Mac machine if it wasn't for alt-tab.
