Redux, Windows : Odd behaviour with Bitwig when switching between OS screens

Help, Support & Bugs
1

Redux 1.4.0 - Windows 10 - BWS 5.3.10 AMD Radeon Onboard Graphics
There seems to be an issue if you are in Bitwig and you switch to another app and if Redux has focus before switching you can’t alt tab back to Bitwig or you have to click the desktop icon twice to switch back to Bitwig
Steps to reproduce:
Load up Bitwig
Add Redux 1.4
Open the Redux GUI
Make sure Redux has focus i.e green frame around main sample window etc.
Alt Tab out of BWS or Click on another windows app open on you system
Alt Tab back or click on the BWS icon on the taskbar

Expected results:
BWS window to show with Redux Open

Actual results
Alt Tab flickers the window and remains on current window.
You have to double click on the BWS icon in the task bar

I was able to replicate this issue in Live 11.3.42 also

No flickering for me, but can replicate this with Live 12 on Windows 11. When Redux is in focus ALT + Tab back is blocked. Seems to work fine with a few other plugins tested.

Same here in Live 12. If it helps to troubleshoot this, I’ve also noticed that the Redux window can not technically be “focused” i.e. its title bar is always grayed out. Another weird thing: I’m using this utility to switch between open windows of the same application, and while alt-tab appears not to work, alt-backtick does work to switch to Live when using it after alt-tab. Thank you!

Hi, any update on this. I see that the latest version still has this issue.
