Cannot switch to other windows using Cmd+Tab on macOS

I can't switch between tabs on Minecraft with command tab when using Minecraft's built-in fullscreen mode, I can usually press command and then tab to change tabs but since I got 1.17 this no longer works

What I expected to happen was...:
when I press command tab a little bar could appear and I should go to my desktop screen

What actually happened was...:
I get a little bar that swaps them but it doesn't swap

Steps to Reproduce:
1. press command tab
2. ...
3. ...

Switching windows using Cmd+Tab is only broken if you are using Minecraft's built-in fullscreen mode. More detailed behavior is described in the table below.

1.16.5

Minecraft's built-in fullscreen

Cmd+Tab partially works. ⚠️ You can tab out of Minecraft, but you can't tab back into Minecraft due to MC-132029.

Cmd+Tab doesn't work. ❌ Here's a video:

(In the video, the "java" icon is Minecraft; see MCL-15163.)

macOS's native fullscreen

Windowed (not fullscreen)

By "Minecraft's built-in fullscreen", I am referring to the fullscreen mode that can be toggled in Minecraft's video settings or alternatively by pressing Fn+Ctrl+F11. (Ctrl might be optional for you depending on your keyboard settings in system preferences.) By "macOS's native fullscreen", I am referring to the fullscreen mode that can be toggled by clicking the green circle on the upper left corner of the window.

This is probably related to MC-40597, and maybe also to MC-170545.

The behavior in 24w05b seems the same as in 1.16.5; that is, this issue has been fixed and MC-132029 has been unblocked.
