[0.981 Bug] Alt-Tab Problem

Alt-Tab broken

September 29, 2012 7:08:53 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

In previous FE builds I could alt-tab back and forth between FE and browsers, Word, etc.  As of 0.981 this no longer works. The Windows task bar appears, but FE stays "always-on-top" so I cannot actually interact with other Apps.

 

Windows7 64.  Nvidia based Dell Precision M4600 laptop with very latest drivers.  Optimus disabled in BIOS.

I do not have this problem. As I am playing FE right now and typing this message. Even on the start-up splash screen.

I'm running Windows7 64 bit, nVidia 555M

Updated to 0.981-2 and Alt-Tab appears to work properly again.

Alt-tab no problem.   But the game won't survive closing my laptop lid and having to log back into windows when I return.
