Sometimes my alt + tab doesn’t work and stay a black square where should the windows be currently open

I am not sure how to imagine what you see, a black square where should the windows be currently open? Are you using the previews mini-app?

Yes, my problem is like this another: [image] Alt-Tab Buggy at random times Budgie Desktop The window switcher(the one that appears when pressing alt+tab) starts behaving abnormally at seemingly random times. It works perfectly usually, but sometimes in some sessions, fail…

Ah, I understand. A few questions: After it happens, does the next time work, or do you need to log out/in? Which is your version? (UbuntuBudgie) Are you using the daily ppa?

I use the version 19.10, and I need to logoff / in to restart the applet of previews, and I don’t know which is the ppa diary

I downloaded the file wprviews_tools.py and moved to /usr/lib/budgie-desktop/plugins/budgie-wprviews. I hope that resolves my problem

Not sure what you are doing or did. previews is no more in python, but vala, and is not located in /usr/lib/budgie-desktop/plugins/budgie-wprviews?

before I copy the file to this folder, haven’t been a another file in there, just folders

Mind that previews is not an applet anymore in 19.10, does not need any manual moving, downloading or editing files nor directories. It is a mini- app, installed by default. you just need to activate it from Budgie menu: [Screenshot%20from%202019-11-01%2023-35-05]

oh thanks, but I think he is no appearing in my ubuntu budgie settings, even installed

…Not in Settings, just in the Main menu!
