 ### Fixed
 
+- VoiceOver announces the active tab title when you switch between window tabs. (#1490)
 - Opening a query tab no longer pulls keyboard focus away from the sidebar or another control; the editor takes focus only when nothing else holds it. VoiceOver now labels the SQL editor and the Clear and Format buttons. (#1490)
 - The connection form opens with the Name field focused, Return or the Down arrow in the welcome search moves to the connection list, and focus returns to the list after a sheet closes, so you can set up a connection without the mouse. (#1490)
 - Escape now dismisses search-based sheets and popovers (database switcher, quick switcher, column and connection pickers). Pressing Escape clears the search text first; a second Escape closes the sheet. (#1490)
