Clicking Finder always display first tab rather than the working tab

I prefer opening folders as tabs in Finder. After updating to Monterey OS, whenever I click the finder icon, it displays the first tab instead of the working tab.

For example, if I have 5 tabs in Finder and am working in the folder of 3rd tab. After using other apps, when I click the finder icon to come back, it always displays the first tab rather than the 3rd tab. It is kind of annoying.

This doesn't happen when I use cmd+tab. But the issue occurs whenever I click the Finder icon to go into the opened folders.

Is it an issue with Monterey update?

Any solution to solve this?

Try not using Tabs in Finder....

you can submit your Apple Feedback

Get to know the Finder on your Mac - Apple Support

I also cannot reproduce it.

In addition to updating to 12.2, you may also try deleting Finder preferences. It may not help, but couldn't hurt.

In Finder, press Command-Shift-G and paste

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist

drag the file out of the Preferences folder, and restart the Finder by either force-quitting it or just logging out back in.

See if this has any effect on the problem.

And, FWIW, command-tab is so much more convenient...

FWIW, that doesn't happen for me. Have you updated to Monterey 12.2?
