XP SP2 home. Dopus 9.5.3.0.3728.x86
"AltTab to Dopus often doesnt work"
I've had this problem since upgrading to version 9 over 6 months ago
Scenario:
I have a few listers open and a couple other apps.
I'm working in some other programme for a while (I estimate minimum 10 minutes), I AltTab to a Dopus lister - no window change happens.
This occurs very often, ONLY with Dopus windows and it doesnt seem to matter what window I'm coming from, i.e. I have this problem coming from various apps but only when going to a Dopus window.
I usually end up AltTabbing to a different window & back to Dopus & that works.
Note that according to the AltTab dialogue, the Dopus window (that hasnt showed) has 'focus'.
e.g.
- I AltTab to a Dopus lister - no window change happens
- I use AltTab again: it starts from the Dopus window that hasnt showed. If I now move away to another icon (without actually showing it's window) & back (AltShiftTab) to the Dopus lister - the lister will now show.
If I'm moving frequently between windows I dont have this problem.
Occasionally, (when not working with full screen windows), if I can see the Lister window that refuses to take focus, I click on it and it still wont come to the front. I've also at times clicked on the lister in the taskbar & that hasnt worked.
This thread suggested another app having stolen AltTab but I dont think that the case Alt-Tab working strange
Looks to me like a support issue but thought I'd post here see if I get any feedback
thank, Tom
