Fences 6 Tabs launching app directly underneath topmost tab

Hi, I am a long-time user of Fences and Tabs is one thing I have wanted for so long.

However, not sure if you are aware (I have searched around and found nothing) that there appears to be a bug.

A bug that defeats the whole point of Tabs and is so frustrating. At least 50% of the time when I click on an application within the topmost Tab group, the underlying Tab group's application that is directly beneath the application I clicked on, will be launched instead of application required.

I am running the latest Fences 6 (Insider).

If you are aware is there a fix due for this issue?

Unfortunately, at the moment at least, I will not be using Tabs as it is causing havoc with my workflow as you can imagine.

Hope a fix will be imminent so I can clean up my desktop again with clean Tabbed Fences.

Thanks,

Andy

Hi andy,

We have a candidate build available for testing, if you'd like to give a shot. This issue appears to be rare but we've heard of similar as Adam notes above.

We'll have a full installer ready next week, but in the meantime a patcher is ready for trying out (v6.01 will be displayed in the about box) that delivers the same results at https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/yk2zloek6mmzeqxj8e8ws/UpdatePatcher_Debug_2025_06_13__3_23_06_pm.exe?rlkey=uez9ouhknhl3100mvbpqdnzyf&dl=1

Unfortunately, I was unable to download the patch as it said the link was incorrect

Ah! Something must have went wrong with link creation, sorry for that. You can give this a shot:

Hi Andy just checking in to see if this helped. We just released v6.01 beta which includes this, and the link with the patcher above is more or less identical.

It appears to be okay so far, so thanks for the update.

Much appreciated,

Andy
