Windows application switching via Alt-Tab is buggy

Dear oXygen support team,

I have noticed the following buggy behaviour of oXygen application.
  • Make directory comparison and open a file comparison in new window.
  • Press Alt-Tab several times.
On first Alt-Tab OS correctly switches to previous opened application window (in my case that was browser window).
On second On first Alt-Tab OS correctly switches to File Comparison window.
On third Alt-Tab OS activates main oXygen window. Sometimes in blinks and get hidden (then when you mouse click on File Comparison window it is shown), sometimes it is shown and stays on top.

Expected: Main oXygen window does not interrupt the switching between desktop applications, i.e. Alt-Tab operation is always reflective.

Hello,

We cannot reproduce this(tested in Oxygen 13.1).
Oxygen does not interfere with system functions like window switching(Alt-Tab).

The Diff windows only have a parent relationship. The Compare Directories is the parent of Compare Files. This way when the Compare Files window is closed, its parent window(Compare Directories) receives the focus even though it wasn't visible(it is restored if it was minimized).
Compare Directories on the other hand is independent from the Oxygen mainframe, there is no relationship.

Regards,
Adrian
