Spring possesses my computer when alt-tabbed

Start Spring, alt-tab out of it, and you can't click on task bar stuff or sometimes you can't click on anything or sometimes you have no cursor... And then you decide, screw it, I'll just go back to the game and quit it entirely. Oh but no, you can't click back on the game in the taskbar, that would be too helpful. And alt-tabbing back in doesn't work half the time either. What the holy hell is wrong? Bloody inconvenient... I guess I'll have to go with windowed mode for the time being but holy crap....

Works a lot better with a lot of games too.
My pissedoffedness is gone now tho, windowed mode is really something I should've used earlier. Actually pretty cool...

Alt-tabing in and out of Spring works flawlessly for me, and yes I overruse it, especially when modding.
Doesn't mean you don't have issue, just that you need to be more specific.

I alt-tab in and out of Spring about a hundred times every game and it's very rarely a problem, although I have seen it happen. Not a big deal and usually just alt-tabbing without trying to get too fancy means you won't see it.

it is if you have the cursor in crosshair mode tombom. This has been a long known bug. However, I am afflicted with it as well, there are times that when spring is minimized that it will not restore when I click on it tab in my taskbar and i have to alt-tab to get it back again.
