Research direction

Start by reproducing the Alt+Tab sequence on the reported Windows Terminal and Windows build, then inspect the issue discussion for any identified area of the terminal or window-management integration. Done means Alt+Tab returns to the terminal window in the expected position rather than appending it to the end of the window stack.
