This is bug 1699325 AFAICT. I'll leave it to you all to dupe it if you'd like so that I don't interfere with your Proton planning.

The problem here is that removing the switch to tab badge in Proton made that bug outcome worse for the user, that now has no way to dtistinguish a switch to tab result if the chiclet is pushed out.

Hello,

This issue is not a regression. Accordingly to bug 1699325#c2, we can also reproduce it on builds way back to 75.0, on Windows 10x64.

Thanks!
