Rider for mac flickers when using cmd + ` to switch between windows?
Seems to happen after I'd upgraded to 2022.3.
Open 2 or more instances of Rider and try switching between them with `cmd + ``.
It flickers between the instances rapidly.
Still happening in 2022.3.1.
on MacOS 12.2.

Hello Mats,
Would you mind trying the following steps?
If it doesn't help, would you mind taking a look at this keyboard troubleshooting article ?
Have a nice day!
I also encountered this issue recently. All other applications on Mac can be switched between using cmd+§, but Rider suddenly stopped doing that. IIRC this happened when I switched to the new UI, but switching back it still didn't work.
The solution posed by Dmitry here works well, and you can assign cmd+§ to that keybind as well to have coherent experience between applications.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rider support.
Regrettably, you encountered a known issue. We would appreciate it if you could upvote the issue to demonstrate your interest.
As a workaround, please try to add
-Dsun.java2d.metal=false
in IDE main menuHelp | Edit custom VM options...
and restart the IDE.If it doesn't help, please let me know.
Have a nice day!
This doesn´t work for me. I am running Mac OS 13.1 and Rider 2022.3 (recently updated and worked before the update.). I am also Swedish and use a Swedish layout on the keyboard. I can switch between instances of the same application using "CMD-<" in my system, and it worked with Rider, too, before the update.
The workaround doesn´t work either.
Would you mind verifying if the issue persists for you in Rider 2023.1 by installing the eap version?

Thank you in advance and have a nice day!
Hello Dmitry,
I have installed EAP 5 of Rider and tried switching between two Rider windows with no luck. The problem still exists.
Have a nice one.
Hello Mats,
Do you mean that the windows doesn't switch or it switches when you press CMD+` but Rider flickers?
By the way, does it work fine if you press Window | Next Project Window (and/or a hotkey shown next to it (⌥+⌘+` in ReSharper(MacOS) keymap))?
Would you mind sharing a recording that demonstrates the issue to be on the same page? You can upload it to the Upload Service and let me know the Upload ID.
Hi,
I cannot switch between Rider windows (solutions).
My keymap does not allow pressing combinations with backtick "`" because the CMD neutralizes the CAPS which I have to use for backtick. But every other Mac program lets me switch between windows with CMD+< , Rider too before the last update when I updated to 2022.3 from a 2021.x version.
Hi,
YES, it worked!
Thank you. That is great. I am using that keystroke a lot.
Keep up the good work!
I am happy to hear that I was able to help.
Should you have any other questions or difficulties in the future, do not hesitate to contact support.
Have a nice day!
