Summary0003968: [Mac] Cannot Command-Tab out of fullscreen mode
DescriptionI'm sure Chris will say this is a Unity thing... But OMG - it's a big one.

Once the game is running in fullscreen mode, you can't do anything else until you quit (or turn off fullscreen mode)!

Gah, hopefully this is something Unity will fix in the future. In the meantime, what other unity developers are recommending as a workaround is Ctrl+F to get it out of fullscreen mode.

I just tested this on Snow Leopard, and am definitely seeing it there. Not sure if you're on Lion.

No, I'm not on Lion.

I must say that I'm not looking forward to moving to Lion. I think Apple's taking a desktop operating system in the wrong direction for once.

Yeah, I agree on that.

Another suggestion:

Can you trap COMMAND-TAB in the app? (I doubt it, but...) If so, maybe the first time someone does it you can drop full screen.

I can probably do that, yeah.

Anyone know if this is an issue or not? I don't have a Mac to test this.

It is still a bug, but it's fixed in a later version of unity. We've not upgraded yet due to fear of some other bugs, but when unity 3.5 comes out in the next month or so we should be able to upgrade then, solving this issue at that time.
