Description

Operating system Windows 10 Pro x64
mRemoteNG version 1.75 hotfix 1 (2017-03-06)

Hello all. I've searched on the internet and I find many people reporting this issue. On foruns and Jira, but I didn't find the issue here.
Also reports I found are old.

Basically, when i have mRemoteNG opened with at least a putty session, I can't cycle correctly thorough windows applications with alt tab.

  • Have mRemoteNG focused
  • Alt + Tab to another App -> stays on mRemoteNG (is it focusing putty?)
  • Alt + Tab again to another App -> stays on mRemoteNG (is it focusing back mRemoteNG ?)
  • Alt + Tab again (third time) to another App -> changes to the next app (say, browser)
  • Alt + Tab + Tab + Tab to yet another App -> changes to the 3rd App (say, skype)
  • Alt + Tab should go back to mRemoteNG but no. mRemoteNG stays in 3rd place

Any window/app that I focus to, will then be always before mRemoteNG. Unless I click on the putty window inside mRemoteNG then I go back to the beginning.

Is there a way to fix this annoying issue? Don't take me wrong, I enjoy mRemoteNG and have been using it for the past 3 years or so, but this is really annoying!
