Note: This does not affect 2.1.17783. It affects 2.2.550. 2.2.5xx versions are not available on Mojira yet.
The bug
When switching between a Mojang account and a Microsoft account, or when switching between two Mojang accounts, the account shown on the Accounts tab does not update. It still displays the previous account used. This only updates after closing and reopening the Launcher.
How to reproduce
Sign into a Mojang account in the Launcher
Navigate to Settings -> Accounts and click either 'Add Mojang account' or 'Add Microsoft account'
Sign in
❌ Notice how when taken back to the launcher window, the previous account is still shown as 'Active'Close and reopen the Launcher, and navigate to the Accounts tab again
✔ Notice how the correct account is now shown

Hi Mark, I am unable to reproduce this. Signing in with a new account correctly sets it to active and switches to it. I've confirmed it for Mojang -> Microsoft, Microsoft -> Mojang, Microsoft -> Microsoft. Could you please test it again with the current version, and perhaps give me some additional information on how you've reproduced it?
Hmm, interesting! Yes, I could reproduce on both of my machines running macOS in 2.2.629. And I did not do anything special to reproduce it. All I know is what is in the How to Reproduce section.
Just to clarify: yes, it does update the signed in account, but the account newest signed into does not appear in the Accounts tab.
I just signed into my Microsoft account (markderickson) and it has not appeared on this list but has appeared in the box in the top left of the screen.
Maybe resolve as CR for now. 😞
(I would attach a video but I don't want my personal information in the report, sorry.)
Resolving until bug is complete. Add a comment to re-open it.
Please don't report "work in progress" bugs.
