Alt-tab-macos: Preferences window and panel positions get messed up when switching between tabs

[DaVince]

This issue is a little difficult to describe in a single sentence. Let me demonstrate it instead:

Basically, a few things seem to happen:

• When switching between the tabs, the wrong window size is sometimes used, possibly from switching too quickly between tabs and it using the previous window size instead.
• The Updates and About tabs tend to be empty when I click them. Sometimes they will pop in after a second or so.
• When switching from Updates to Appearance, sometimes the Appearance panel will be entirely empty, and sometimes the window size stays at the old size.
• The contents of the panel sometimes get displaced.

I use Mojave 10.14.6 on a retina display with AltTab 3.7.3.

One easy solution to at least one of the problems, I think, is to always keep the window the same size on all of the tabs.

Hi @DaVince! Thanks for sharing this crazy behavior with us! That's pretty wild stuff.

On my machine is switches correctly, and importantly without any fading animation. I thought it wouldn't animate for anyone since it didnt for me

This panel is a complete mess. I mentioned in another ticket how this preference panel is actually pretty complex and non-intuitive at the code level. I think i'll replace with some preferences panel from cocoapods i saw a few months ago

Hi, just want to say, I have exactly the same issues w/ AltTab 3.7.3 and Mojave 10.14.6 (18G4032)

@DaVince @gitgetgot I just released a new version that uses the Preferences cocoapod (see previous discussion about integrating this pod). Hopefully the new version works properly on Mojave.

Could you guys update and share here if it's fixed for you now? 👍

The new preferences code works beautifully, thanks so much!

Works like a charm now. Thank you!
