A curious bug regarding interaction with the OS Alt+Tab key 12/01/2015 at 21:46 #67764

I'm running Windows 8.1, but I think I've also noted this on Windows 7. I'm running the latest version of the Loader, and I have my screen set up with menu window, main window, overview window and messages window all visible. I also have another application open, with its window maximised - it's Firefox and I'm using it to write this post, as it happens, but I don't think this is Firefox-specific.

SimSig is in use and has the focus. Firefox is open and maximised, but is behind the SimSig windows. If I press Alt+Tab Firefox comes to the front, as you would expect.

If I press Alt+Tab again, though, only the SimSig menu window comes to the front - the other three windows stay behind the Firefox window.

If I press Alt+Tab a third time, Firefox comes back, as you would expect. Then, when I press Alt+Tab a fourth time, all four SimSig windows come to the front.

It's not consistent - I can't always reproduce this behaviour. Today, it *was* behaving like this, until I started writing this post, but if I try to reproduce it right now I can't. It happens fairly frequently, though, so I'd be surprised if nobody else had noticed it.
