Just press alt again and it goes away. This happens in pretty much every fullscreen game.

Used to happen with all modifier keys (shift, alt, ctrl) for me. Windows issue I think.

I got the same issue. This could do with a patch, I already made a topic about it, bit more descriptive ;)

Uh. I've yet to see another fullscreen game using alt-tab that gets it stuck on fullscreen switch, and certainly not one that does it 100% of the time.

Yeah I could just hit alt once each time I alt-tab, but it's still a pretty large annoyance, considering when I forget, which is frequently, Spring changes chat mode to ally chat, or zooms me in and out of the map a few times...

linux or mac?

in linux you can make the app windowed with same resoultion of the desktop and use a WM command to toggle it's fullscreen mode, then alt tab will work fine
