Doesn't happen on 0.99.123.3 on test computer but seem to indeed happen on 0.99.124.3 on other computer, just as a small footnote

    note I only noticed this recently, I suspect it was introduced as a feature in one of the recent releases but for me it makes Orion very annoying to use.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. close all orion windows (but don't quit the app)
    2. open an app in full screen mode
    3. close that app
    4. -> notice how a new orion window pops up (see attached video below)

    Expected behavior:
    when focuisg the orion app and there are no windows open do not open a new window for me

    Reasoning
    in the steps to reproduce, all I wanted was to close my full screen app. Having a Orion just open a window for me just beacuse macOS automatically focuses you back to the previous app is not good UX. The intention of the user is just to close an app nothing else nothing more

    Orion, OS version; hardware type:
    Version 0.99.124.4.1-beta (WebKit 616.1.14.11.1) MacBook Pro (macOS ???? 14.0 beta build 23A5276g)

        If Orion has no open windows, then command+tabbing to the app automatically opens a blank window.

        Steps to reproduce:

        1. Close all windows
        2. Switch to other app
        3. Cmd+Tab back to Orion

        Expected behavior: Orion gains focus without opening a new window.

        Actual behavior: Orion gains focus, and a new, empty window is opened.

        Orion, OS version; hardware type:
        Orion: 0.99.124.4.1-beta
        macOS: 13.4.1
        Hardware: 16" M1 Pro

        Discussion:

        While some might think this is "correct" behavior, it goes against expected behavior. Most macOS apps do not behave this way. Small semi-random sampling:

        • Safari
        • Terminal
        • Finder
        • TextEdit
        • Music
        • Pages
        • Firefox

        The list goes on. In fact, the only app I've found on my system that behaves as Orion does is Messages. (That's a Catalyst app; maybe that has something to do with it?)

        This behavior causes another bug: if Orion has no windows but is in focus when the Mac is put to sleep, then Orion will open an empty window when the Mac wakes.

          I just also saw the following behavior:

          1. Close last window
          2. Switch to other app
          3. Close that app (Cmd+Q)

          Orion took focus (expected) and opened a new window (neither expected nor desired).

            Merged 2 posts from Cmd+Tab to Orion opens a window if none is open.
