### What's Wrong?
When I use the Claude windows client, sometimes alt-tab stops working. This problem seems to be fairly consistent once it starts: windows/tab or alt tab dont work, closing and reopening the client doesnt work either. Bug seems to happen both in screenless and windowed modii. When working in split-screen and alt tabbing from the other program to something full-screen, only that side of the screen gets replaced.What does work is minimizing the client.
### What Should Happen?
alt tab should work as intended
### Error Messages/Logs
```shell
```
### Steps to Reproduce
open client
start session
try to alt tab
### Claude Model
Sonnet (default)
### Is this a regression?
I don't know
