Lagging app switching in gnome 42

I just updated to gnome 42, and I noticed I can no longer switch the focused application with a very fast alt+tab (or special+tab), it just create some notification ("app_i_should_have_switched_to is ready").
I need to take slightly more time, waiting to see the apps summary, to be able to switch.

It's not a big problem, just an annoyance I'll have to get used to, but if someone has a solution or an idea of where to look, I'd be grateful
('cause right now I'm at a loss, I don't see any options in the settings or gnome-tweaks, and I don't get anything useful by grepping into gsettings list-schemas)

Thanks

Re: Lagging app switching in gnome 42

There has been a focus delay in gnome3. To see your current settings you can enter:

gsettings get org.gnome.shell.overrides focus-change-on-pointer-rest

you can remove the delay with:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.overrides focus-change-on-pointer-rest false
