Hi! I just bought DisplayFusion a few days ago on Steam, and I've noticed an issue with the Alt+Tab functionality. For clarification, I have it set to "Show on Current Monitor Only, Show All Windows" and I'm running Windows 7.

Anyway, I've noticed that sometimes when I alt+tab, sometimes it minimizes me to the desktop. By this I mean, if I have Chrome and Skype windows open, then I alt-tab, DisplayFusion will minimize both of them. I'm in the habit of rapidly pressing it over the years, so I thought this was a shortcut. Well, I managed to catch it once, and it turns out that the alt+tab was selecting the desktop (icon?) first. The desktop icon is at the very end, so it's kind of strange that it would select it first. I can't seem to notice a pattern, I believe it's random.

As for the suggestion: by default, Windows 7 let's you move to the left on the alt+tab screen by pressing Alt + Tab + Shift + Ctrl. This may seem like it's messy to press all those, but I've gotten used to it over the years. I noticed DisplayFusion replaces this with Alt + Tab + Shift. I would therefore like to request if you could add the option to use either hotkey. (Maybe this is already in the software. If so, please say where I could find it!)

Hmm, well, most of the time I have Chome open when I try to alt tab, and I think it might happen more often in my second monitor (where I have the DisplayFusion taskbar). Though, I'm just spitballing and I don't think I can make it happen consistently. Typically once I get it to happen, it doesn't happen for a while. Unless I can pull up an event log of why it did that, I don't think I can reproduce it. Sorry

EDIT:

SCRATCH THAT! I've found a way to reliably reproduce it!

1: Open a new tab in Chrome (bug doesn't occur with Firefox, tested. The bug seems to occur with both the ctrl+T hotkey, and pressing the "new tab" button)
2: Alt+tab

I've done it about a dozen times, it happens every time.

EDIT2: seems to also occur if you open a new window, incognito or otherwise.

Just want to backup this issue with some of my experience. This had been occurring for months so when I finally reinstalled my computer I thought this problem was going to dissapear, although I was wrong.

Hopefully this can be fixed soon and please at least add an option to remove the Desktop from alt + tab as a (feature and) workaround, as already stated in a thread last year: http://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/alttab-handler-program-disapper-from-taskbar/?ID=1f8befbe-b397-4d78-8295-9928c715fc9c

EDIT: I was able to reproduce this issue with the same procedure as Dime

Ooh, need to check more carefully next time. I'll use that as a workaround for now. Thanks

Confirmed fixed for me. Thanks!

I would prefer to use Alt + Ctrl + Shift + Tab because it's what I've got muscle memory for after using Windows for all these years, and because Ctrl + Shift + Tab is also the key combination used to go to the previous tab in Chrome and Firefox. I don't think Windows has a response for Alt + Ctrl + Tab, I think without the Shift in there, it just treats it as a regular Alt + Tab.

I can confirm that this particular bug has been fixed in 7.0, and the feature I requested has been added. Thanks for that!

Unfortunately, I've found that this bug has also reared its head again. This time, whenever a video goes full screen (whether it's from YouTube or any other video site, it seems) the alt+tab handler defaults to the Desktop, just like when you opened a new tab.

Again, this happens every time I've done it, tested on Chrome and Firefox, it occurs with both browsers.
