Windows get messed up if I minimize

Sometimes i have to minimize for various reasons. When i do and i switch any alt window to my main screen, the graphics get messed up. Only way i found to fix it is to log off and log them all back on. Any easier way to fix that? Without having to log all the way out and back in?

Re: Windows get messed up if I minimize

I get this too.

Mainly if I want something on my desktop, and click the Show Desktop icon, which minimizes everything.
I can click the various warcraft windows to get back into the game.
But the text is messed in all of the other windows.
And switching to any of those regions, is pretty much unplayable.
Even a reloadui doesn't fix it.

But exiting out of the game and relaunching the team is fine.

Re: Windows get messed up if I minimize

I get a similar problem when playing LOTRO if I alt-tab into the "Show Desktop" icon in windows 7. All of the IS controlled windows seem to shuffle around to the taskbar, and one of them seems to freak out and change scale. All of the gfx are blocky as though its a zoomed in version of a min rez client. On average, 4/6 of my clients are then frozen, and have to be restarted. Edit: By frozen, I mean I have to use task manager to kill the app. Killing the frozen clients and relaunching with IS seems to work fine.

I have no problems alt-tabbing to anything else, just if I use the "Show Desktop" icon from the alt-tab menu. Oddly, sometime when using IS, I dont have that icon. In normal usage, I use it a ton, but I've started carefully avoiding it when I'm using IS/ISBoxer. I'll try the keyboard shortcuts to see if it has the same response.
