Switching to other programs using Alt-Tab doesn't work (1.3)

In the latest beta (1.3) you can't switch to other Windows programs using Alt-TAB. When in a different program you can switch to ccs64 but once inside pressing Alt-TAB won't show the running tasks anymore.

(this is pretty random, sometime it switches, but most of the time not. :-/ )

Strange, because this seems to work for me OK.

Even if you keep ALT pressed and hit TAB several times ? (try this more than once, with a couple of applications running in the background)
This in Win98 btw.
I tried it on XP and it works fine.. :?:

It's only mildly annoying, there'r another thing that's been bugging me (on 98 *and* XP) - v3.0 ß 1.3 doesn't remember the path where you last loaded a D64. :?

I have this problem running the latest version 1.6 an WinMe if CCS64 is running in Windowed mode it seems to work sometimes, but if in full screen mode it doesn't work.

Maybe because the TAB key is redfined as the C64 control key ??

I think that the ALT+TAB is programmed to specifically NOT work in full-screen mode - if you want task-switching, then have CCS64 work in windowed mode, which allows this. The full-screen mode requires exclusive access.
