[Bug 34428] New: Cannot switch window while running full-screen program

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34428

Bug #: 34428
           Summary: Cannot switch window while running full-screen program
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.23
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

When I'm play games running full screen mode, I cannot switch to any other
windows until the full-screen game is closed.

Contrary to Bug 33324, the problem is that I cannot switch "out of" the
full-screen game, not switch "in to" it.

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for over a
year. Is this still an issue in current (1.7.37 or newer) wine? If so, please
attach the terminal output in 1.7.37 (see http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log).

Is this problem still valid? 1.5.23 is really ancient wine version. There is
nothing we can do about this bug without feedback with more recent wine. I
would say close this bug as abandoned and reopen if its possible to reproduce
with 1.8 or 1.9 series of wine.

This is still an issue. I've recently used 1.9X for League of Legends and also
was not about to ALT+TAB out of the full screen. On a couple of attempts I was
able to ALT+TAB out by repeatedly pressing it (not everytime), however, I
couldn't ALT+TAB back into the game and was forced to kill the process and
restart the game.
