I'm going to email you a movie off-list; it appears to be working for me, so we'll need to figure out what's different with your setup, and that back-and-forth doesn't need to happen on the list. (If we find something generally applicable to everyone, we'll send it to the list, of course.)

Also something to note, under "Actions" I have "Sort by" set to "App 
Activity > Window Activity".

So Witch is cycling the windows, but it's not respecting the "Sort by" 
setting.

The behavior that isn't working for me is switching in between two windows 
belonging to the same application. I have the main behavior under "Actions" 
set to "Cycle Windows". Under "Advanced" I set the "Delay" to "0.1".

I have a Finder window and two TextEdit windows open and I'm focused on one 
TextEdit window.
When I press ⌥⇥ quickly the focus is changed to Finder instead of the other 
TextEdit window.

If I change the "Delay" setting under "Advanced" to "0" then I get the 
desired behavior.

This should behave as it did in Witch 3, as long as you have some delay set before the panel shows. Can you try a simple test for me? Close all windows and only open a few - one each in Finder, Safari, and TextEdit, for instance. Does it work as you expect then?

In Witch 3 if I quickly pressed ⌥⇥ it would switch between windows as I had 
specified even before the list modal appeared. In Witch 4 it doesn't behave 
correctly until the list modal shows up. Meaning that I either have to set 
the modal delay to 0 seconds or press and hold until the list shows up 
before I can press ⇥ and have it cycle between windows as I had specified.
