Am I going mad?
I seem to be noticing an odd behaviour in the App Switcher (the command-tab bezel thing).
I can't seem to narrow down the conditions, but often when I'm command-tabbing to a recently used app, it's icon is way over to the right, as if It hadn't been active for a long time. This means either having to use the mouse, or tabbing backwards, or tabbing forwards loads: none of which I'm used to doing, and finding slightly irritating.
Anyone else experience this behaviour?

It's working the way it should here-- properly sorting most to least recent to the right of the app I'm switching from.

I've noticed the same thing, so you're not crazy
. . . or we both are.

OK - I think I've narrowed it down.
It appears that Hiding an application will automatically send it to the 'right'. (I tend to option-click the desktop a lot.)
Weirdly, not totally to the far right, usually about two from the end.
Anyone reproduce that?

Right - I've worked out what it's doing.
- Switch to an app, it becomes active and moves to the left-most side of the app switcher.
- hide that app while it's still active, and it will jump back to where it was (in the switcher) before you activated it.
Odd... I assume this is intentional, however It makes it hard to predict where the app will end up...
