Work With Apps - What are "inactive apps"

Maybe this is a bug or I just don’t understand the feature yet, but Webstorm appears under “inactive apps” in the work-with-apps popup on my MBA with M2.

I’ve given ChatGPT access to Webstorm via Accessibility system settings. And restarted the ChatGPT app.

Still, when I see Webstorm in “inactive” and click it, it does nothing even if the app is fullscreen under the ChatGPT input window. Anyone know what the “Inactive Apps” section even is? It’s not mentioned anywhere in the docs currently.

UPDATE:
I rebooted my Mac, and now the ‘work-with-apps’ icon is gone entirely!

And it is in running the latest version of the app.

+1. It doesn’t seem to work with WebStorm. However, it works with DataGrip, GoLand, and other IDEs.
