Thanks for your fast response - and sorry for the delay on my side.

Results:

$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-applications
['<Super>Tab']

$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-windows
['<Alt>Tab']

These are standard extensions which come with the package
gnome-shell-extensions.
I uninstalled them anyway, as well as this one:

Which was to fix a bug that Nextcloud didn't show up in the appindicator.

It was marked as broken in the gnome extensions management tool but
also turned off.
I removed it additionally.

After logging out and back in, alt-tab worked again.

After installing gnome-shell-extensions back, logging out and in
again, it worked, too.
So, to me it looks like I dont have that problem anymore, thanks!

Probably gnome shell should be somehow more robust so and outdated
extension that is even recognized as such and disabled whouldn't break
other unrealted functionality, but I guess that's hard to debug.

Thanks a lot.
