#12 Does not change focus from Intellij

[Kerry Sainsbury]

If you are running Idea Intellij you can alt-tab to Intellij, but alt-tab away doesn't always work. The selected process seems to be displayed behind the Intellij window instead of in front of it... but only sometimes :-(

Yes, I use IntelliJ IDEA. I'll check. Thank you.

I recklessly disabled alttab, reverting to standard Windows 10 alt-tab behaviour, and discovered that this inability to switch windows also happens there. So whatever the problem is, it's not related to your program. Please feel free to close this ticket.

Yes, I tried many approaches but failed to identify the exact issue. No, I will keep it open. Thank you so much.

I finally found a reproduceable bug that stops me from alt-tabbing to other applications:

1. Install ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2025 Trial
   https://www.acdsee.com/en/products/photo-studio-ultimate/thank-you/
2. Start ACDSee Photo Studio and see you have a "Sign In" modal
3. Try and alt-tab to another process

I usually find myself trapped, and unable to switch to any other applications.

Hope this helps you find the bug.

Thank you so much for your inputs. I'll go through them and let you know my observations. Thank you.
