"Command-Tab" not working in Full Screen Mode

Issue:

When I'm using a visualization app "G-Force" and it's in Full-Screen mode on a 2nd display (extended monitor or projector), I am unable to use the "Command-Tab" function to jump between programs.


I have tested the 2nd display / monitor with other Full-Screen apps like Google Photos in Slideshow mode, and I have full use of my "Command-Tab" function... Why not G-Force?


Another oddity, with G-Force in Full-Screen on 2nd monitor, while working on the Main display, I DO have use of "Command-Tilda", which jumps between pages on Chrome etc. Why this function, but not the Global Macro of "Command-Tab"?


I already have the Mission Control: "When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows" checked, and it has been checked throughout this issue. I've also tried restarting etc.



Thanks!

"full screen" is a feature reverse ported form the iPhone, land of tiny screens and one-at-a-time processing.


That MANY multi-space, multi-screen features do not work once you have entered that twisted land is no surprise to me.


My recommendation is to only invoke "full screen" when you want exactly one item on one display, and NO other times.
