Alt-tab issue
Hi, all. Instead of retyping everything, I'll just cut and paste what I sent MS here. Any known fix for this issue?I'm noticing a problem with Alt-tab. Basically, as an example, when I am playing World of Warcraft, sometimes I like to alt-tab to my browser so I can get some coordinates of an area or item I am trying to find. When I try to either alt-tab or click on the icon on the taskbar to get back into the game, it won't let me. The pointer still becomes the "gauntleted hand" icon instead of the arrow, but the screen is still on the desktop, except I can't click on anything and must use alt-tab to get to a functioning desktop. Then I have to ctrl-alt-delete and force quit WoW. This was something that worked fine in Vista and XP.

Interesting, it seems likeWoW doesn't reinitialize drawing the graphics. That may be an issue with DX11, though I don't really know how different DX11 is from DX10 at this point, besides from its name. Don't know how it could be resolved, beyond using a separate computer to browse the Web while playing.

seems like a bug hopefully MS will fix it cause I use that function all the time when I'm gaming

I have this problem as well.. it doesn't always happen (Only 2-3 times since I installed Win 7) ... but World of Warcraft will become stuck as the focus window. I will be able to see the other windows pop up, I can click on them but it wont select. Have to close Warcraft and restart it :(
