Rob:

Works fine here, please open a trouble ticket and we'll figure it out. (Mailing lists are not the best for one-on-one troubleshooting.)

Rob:

We published a blog post yesterday that covered all our open Big Sur issues, and the Witch one is pretty much the only one. The good news is the post also includes a workaround to solve most of the issues:

<https://manytricks.com/blog/?p=5218 <https://manytricks.com/blog/?p=5218>>

To save a trip, here's the workaround for Witch until we figure out a permanent solution:

On the Advanced tab in Witch’s preferences, in the "Do not list apps" text box, enter this:

Control Center, SystemUIServer

If you have existing entries there, put a comma at the end and add the two new entries. Next, in the "Do not list windows" box, enter this:

Item-0

These two changes should make Witch look mostly as it did in pre-Big Sur systems.
