  1. Windows and tabs suddenly acting like they were tabbed out but not minimized? Plus sticking...


    Okay so this is getting really frustrating, and it's only just started happening. At first I thought it was just games but I was wrong. It's any window or tab that I have open. A game, firefox, anything. I tried finding a solution but no one else seems to be having my exact problem.


    So randomly, no matter what I'm doing, I will get 'tabbed' out of the window. I say 'tabbed' because the window does not actually minimize. If I'm playing a game, for example, all sound will be muted as if it was minimized and my cursor will appear over the screen. I only have to click the window that I am using and it goes back to normal for a time but it is getting frustrating.


    It's already happened while I'm typing this, and I haven't noticed a time pattern. No other windows pop up when this happens. I'm just suddenly not active in that window anymore. It's like an invisible window has opened or taken priority of what I'm doing but there's nothing there. It's getting old. Fast.

    And another issue that I've been having... It's a lesser issue than the one above but I would still like an answer to it.

    There will be times that I'm playing a game, and sometimes my directional buttons, usually the traditional wsad, gets 'stuck'. I can let go of the button and the computer still thinks I'm pushing it. Leading me to need to push the button again to fix it. I can't seem to find any solutions to it either.

    It's only ever happened to me on this computer and I've never spilled anything on the keyboard. It's not even the buttons that get stuck because it never happens while typing. It only happens while in games.


    So if someone could explain how to fix these problems, I would be very grateful.

    :)

    Command line/tab

    QUESTION/suggestion:
    * Why not remember the last active tab?
    For example, if you are on tab 2 and close the program, then run it again, for the program to open tab 2 again. But if the -tab X command-line option is used, then the program goes to X tab, regardless of last active tab.

    Does that make sense?

    Command line/tab

    No plans to implement that. Many users (including me) look at tab 1, then click sensors tab 2 quickly and close the app. Expectation is that it will start at tab 1 again.

    Command line/tab

    OK, thanks!
    (I assume maybe this was suggested before...)
    May I ask, what exactly does such a routine have in mind - why look at tabs 1, then 2, then quickly close the app?
