TightVNC Viewer 2.5.2 in full screen mode does not allow the viewer to be minimized

[John D. <jde...@co...>]

Hi,

I have been using TightVNC 1.3.9 on Windows XP for many years. Recently, I installed TightVNC 2.5.2, and this version seems to have a quirk that the previous version does not. When the TightVNC Viewer 2.5.2 is in full screen mode, it does not allow the viewer to be minimized. I typically use the key sequence "Windows key" + "m" to minimize all windows, but when the TightVNC Viewer 2.5.2 is in full screen mode, the sequence does not minimize the viewer. It seems I have to first exit full screen mode, and then minimize the viewer. I find this to be a step backwards in usability.

Is there a way to configure TightVNC 2.5.2 to allow minimizing the viewer as was possible in TightVNC 1.3.9?

Thanks, John D.
