Alt-Tab in fullscreen

Hi guys,

I'm using jogl2.0-rc5, and I use GlWindow as my GLAutoDrawable. I experience weird behavior when i alt-tab out of my fullscreen application. The window loses focus and i can see my windows toolbar, but It is still on top of everything else. It feels like it is set to be always on top even though i explicitly call glWindow.setAlwaysOnTop(false); Perhaps there is a bug in the setAlwaysOnTop() method? Or something with my graphics drivers? I am using the newest Catalyst drivers on my Radeon 5870.

On a slightly related note, java.awt.Frame has a method setResizable(boolean), is there anyway to do something similar with GLWindow?

Thanks,
Mike

this could be a bug, pls file a bug report.

AFAIK .. we set always on top for fullscreen.

You could try setting glWindow.setAlwaysOnTop(false);
after the window is already in fullscreen mode,
just to validate whether it then allows others to get up front.

We would need to validate whether fullscreen can be properly
achieved w/o setting always on top per default.

Please copy this reply in your bug report as well, thank you!

We had a request for is-maximized .. queries though.
If you think this is desirable, pls drop this in another
bug report 'enhancement' .. thx.
