I'm noticing this issue as well on the latest update of Amethyst and it wasn't happening before updating. I'm on MacOS 12.5.1.

I've tried checking the Follow option and then unchecking and still no effect. I've downgraded to v0.15.6 (93) for now.

It looks like this issue was created by PR #1209.

I resolved the issue locally by wrapping this line: https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst/blob/cbf9612b1342ccc60a9edbaaa1dc2ec92f51ecd1/Amethyst/Managers/WindowManager.swift#L662

with the appropriate preference check:

if UserConfiguration.shared.followWindowsThrownBetweenSpaces() {
    window.focus()
}

This builds and runs locally and the preference is once again respected.

@dozzman (author of PR #1209) does this change break any desirable behavior? I will submit a PR soon.

I was hoping this fix would be included in 0.16.1 update. May I ask when this fix will be officially released?
