I actually resolved this while filing the issue, but I thought I'd file it anyhow. That way, if anyone (including me 😅) runs into this in the future, hopefully they'll find this!

What worked for me was to go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and:

• Delete Quicksilver from "Full Disk Access" and add it again.
• Toggle the following permissions from Quicksilver off and on again:
  • Accessibility
  • Automation
  • Screen & System Audio Recording

I think this what caused it to work again, but I'm not sure which setting was borked.

This seems to be broken again. Looking into it.

Hmm, I can't figure it out. Toggling the same permissions didn't work this time.

I've also observed another weird thing: The "Reveal" action does bring Finder ahead of almost all apps… except the current app. It's as if the current app either stays in the foreground, or something is bringing it back to the foreground before any effect becomes visible on the screen. 🤔

Reveal seems to be working as expected for me.

I currently have Firefox open in full screen and Books.app maximized but not full screen -- it moves focus away from Firefox and opens a Finder window in the next available space, and it pops up a Finder window in front of Books.

Is this a new behavior?

What is your MacOS version? (Sorry the template is outdated.)

Yeah, this has been happening for the last few weeks, quite possibly at the time of the Sequoia upgrade.

I don't think it was a consistent issue, as evidenced by the fact that I was temporarily able to fix it. But it seems to be fairly persistent now. :-/

15.0.1 (Sequoia)

Okay, going through these settings worked again this time. Let's see how long it sticks.

Seems to have already regressed after 2 hours. 😕
