Hide After Effects failing on Mac OS Ventura

I've been seeing issues with Cmd-H ever since upgrading to Ventura, but unlike the Save As… dialog cursor bug, I haven't seen this one mentioned elsewhere. AE often fails to hide when I use Cmd-H. The UI focus shifts to the Finder, but the AE window remains visible. If I minimize AE, undocked panels remain visible and cause issues. Using the menu command After Effects > Hide After Effects seems to work more consistently than the keyboard shortcut, though that may be coincidence. The problem as a whole is intermittent, not constant, so it's hard to test and provide specific detailed descriptions.

      So what, why should I or any other Adobe customer need to jump to a Beta version of an app to solve an issue the company should solve in their standard apps?

        Thanks for clarification, I'll update to 24 once these projects are wrapped!

          @jackthegiantkiller AE 24.0 also contains an alternate fix for this issue that will work on Ventura. Unfortunately you will have to update something, either AE or the OS, to get the fix.

            So we have to wait for a buggy new release of Mac OS in order to squash this bug? Seriously? I only just last month upgraded to Ventura because the new one is about to come out. I don't know a single professional user who jumps on board a new Mac OS immediately. There has to be another solution.

              Okay I take that back, it literally just changed to the Timeline panel being active for cmd+H to work. Gaaaaah.

              While we wait for MacOS 14 to release in a few days, I actually just stumbled upon a work around. At least for me, I have to be in the Composition panel for cmd+H to hide After Effects. In any other panel and it doesn't work. 

               

              MacOS 13.5.2

              After Effects 23.6.0

              Thanks. Yes, the first build the fix is in (if you're not on MacOS 14) is after 24.0x6 (fix went into x13).

              On 24.0x6 Apple Arm 64 (M1Studio) ventura 13.5.2 it doesn't work. Ill update later and see if does work in the latest version. But i am currently working so that takes precedence.

              @Formatik Mediaontwerp 24.0 beta or 24.1 beta? Which build of the beta? What OS version?
