On Windows, Alt+Enter switches to borderless window
In windows I get no real window on alt+tab. Somehow I only get a borderless window. In this mode you have trouble to move the camera with moving the mouse pointer to the bottom, but I think thats just a side effect.
I think Titi means Alt+Enter here (as stated in the title). And I experienced this on Windows, too. On Windows 10, pressing Alt+Enter will show the Windows panel on the bottom of the screen.
Once it displays, the mouse pointer will actually click at a different location than the pointer is, shifted by the height of the Windows panel. So currently Alt-Enter on Windows is more problematic than useful.
Another maybe related problem is the iconified behaviour. Press Windows-D to show the desktop when MG is running. MG does not get iconified. Similar problem with alt-tab which does not iconify the fullscreen MG like other fullscreen applications would do.
I somehow feel that at least some of problems described by titi may be related with #77 (Pseudo-Fullscreen) and some parts sounds similar like we talked about tiny problems on fullscreen + linux-KDE env where you have to get used to stay away with mouse cursor e.g. from top left corner (imo very minor thing on linux) because it is handled by some KDE effect.
... so I think e.g. issues like trouble to move the camera with moving the mouse pointer
may be related with some windows/aero (or whatever it's called now :D) effects + Pseudo-Fullscreen like on KDE.
maybe related, "nig":
MG64 3.12 on Win 7 64 : functionality of windowskey gone
its not possible since mg 3.12 to get to the desktop by pressing the windows key. When you press the windowskey when MG is running, the taskbar is displayed, but game (or lobby or optionscreen) is still displayed. If you click something on taskbar the taskbar disappears again.
Not having this problem on Windows 10.
