ALT key getting stuck down when ALT+Tabbing

I am having an issue the ISBoxer where when I ALT+Tab between sessions the ALT key is getting stuck down.

This does not appear to happen when just using Innerspace sessions, just when multiple characters are loaded via ISBoxer.

Anyone else having this issue ? or have a suggestion, or a fix ?

Playing Everquest, but I don't believe this is a game specific issue.

Any help appreciated.

Do you have Broadcasting Mode enabled at the time?

Re: ALT key getting stuck down when ALT+Tabbing

I get this, too, when MBing Eve.
I've tried to train myself out of alt-tabbing but it's hard to break so many years of behaviour.
I've gone as far as making my stacked windows 1920x1170, leaving 30 pixels at the bottom of the screen to keep the task bar there permanently, so I can click to switch windows, but I still use alt-tab from time to time and it will end up with the alt key being stuck down for some clients (yes, it's when I'm broadcasting but, in Eve, I'm broadcasting a large %ge of the time).
RIFT - 5-boxing | EVE - 0-boxing... CCP go DIAF!

ISBoxer 41.2.0523.1 should correct this issue. Update via Help->About! Thanks guys :)

I try to remember to turn it off before ALT+Tabbing, but not 100% guaranteed.

Will try the fix, thanks.

Got another issue.

If I have a ISBoxer character set loaded, and load a single session just through right click Innerspace, select EverQuest, select profile, I cannot get the Innerspace session to go full screen, it always has the titlebar at top and windows taskbar at bottom.

Any ideas (and "don't do it" is not an idea :P )

Thanks

Re: ALT key getting stuck down when ALT+Tabbing

I had this same issue, although I didn't realize it was fixable. I thought it was just EQ. Prior to this patch, I had set a secondary hotkey of Alt-Tab: Keypress Down to my Repeater: Off mapped key. Even if I attempted to tab out, the repeater got turned off prior to switching focus.
