Window Switching not working as expected

To save posting a similar topic im highjacking this thread

Ive been using the updated ISBoxer and finally managed to get it working after a new windows setup for the miners, i have as Lax already told me turned the screen to full screen to solve the black window issue.

I run 12 accounts and i really only use the program for the window resizing tool. Everything else is disabled in regards to clicks and drags etc.
The problem is when switching from accounts, using the task bar, my normal process is to click the chars in turn, transfering the item on that char as i go.
The old program switched instantly and unless it had a small lag issue (more my machine than program) it was always instant and smooth.

atm when i switch, it sometimes open up a different char or acts as if two clients are trying to be open. This mean half the time, when switching it doesnt open the one i want or is causing more lag than i ever had with the previous version. Sometimes its not even opening the window and skrinks it back down to the taskbar as if ive double clicked.

Additionally, i now have a ghost issue with windows, it imprints a screenshot of the window in the foreground in a frozen state, sometimes this will sit infront of the other windows until they become active and then deactive again.

Im guessing its a setting somewhere ive missed, seeing this thread i have just enabled the "ignore the click" option but wont be able to test it for another hour or so.

Re: Window Switching not working as expected

To save my sanity I moved your post into a new thread.

The "ignore the click" option isn't for clicking on the taskbar. It's for clicking on the actual game window. The problem being that someone would click on the window, and during the click it shifts to a new location, and then games interpret this as the mouse having moved.

Clicking on the taskbar to switch windows is probably related to the issue here, I'd say that's not too common a way to use ISBoxer. I'll have to see whats happening with that.

Additionally, i now have a ghost issue with windows, it imprints a screenshot of the window in the foreground in a frozen state, sometimes this will sit infront of the other windows until they become active and then deactive again.

I don't know how that would happen in this case, but it's possible to do that if the game is really in full screen mode without being forced into a window by ISBoxer.

It would probably help to see your configuration. See the sticky post titled "how to share your configuration" for how to do that for me

Re: Window Switching not working as expected

all sorted.

Found the setting that was causing the issue.

Was part of the region setting under the window layout. It was set to on top when in foreground.
I had it turned off on the main active window, but i didnt check the other regions till just now.

Once it was turned off, game is alot less laggy and am no longer getting the ghosting window or the issue with the taskbar selecting.
