| Summary | 0000747: Hot switching + task bar = lost in space | ||||
| Description | When alt-tabbing out of AI War and then returning by selecting it from the Windows task bar, often the game scrolls way out into the deepest regions of space at whichever planet I was on. It's altogether possible this only happens when the task bar is set to auto-hide. | ||||

Issue is probably in that the mouse cursor is on the edge of the screen when you tab out.. |
|
|
Clocked it! The issue isn't with alt-tabbing out (or in); it's with using the Windows task bar to get back into the game - at least when the task bar is set to auto-hide, anyway. |
|
|
But it STILL doesn't always happen! Colour me officially miffed. |
|
|
The game doesn't know that you've got another window on top of it, so it continues to process mouse-scrolling logic. Results are... interesting. We seem to not be getting the mouse-down events when another window is in the way, so maybe we can move the mouse-scrolling logic under the same roof to prevent this. |

Sorry, I tried moving this into the other mouse-handling and it does exactly the same thing. I don't think we can fix this unless we find some way of the program being able to answer the question "does my window have focus?". We can't do that at present, so far as I've been able to tell. |
