ALT-TAB Causes text messages to dissapear really fast

[Crimson Wizard]

This happens to me as long as I remember playing AGS games, that is I am really not sure which run-time version this referes to. Latest game I played and noticed this bug in was "Colin Simpson Leaves Employment".

Bug itself occurs as soon as I change to another window by hitting ALT+TAB, then return back to the game. All displayed text, speech and messages, begin to dissapear a moment after they are shown, as if game thinks that user constantly presses a key or something.
This happens both for Fullscreen and Window mode. Interesting thing is, that if igame was launched in windowed mode and I change window by clicking on "minimize" button or just clicking outside game window, then switch back, this bug does not occur. It occurs only if I use ALT+TAB combination.

This is a bug in the allegro library that AGS uses, whereby the TAB key gets stuck down when you return to the game when running full-screen. It is something that I thought I had put a workaround in for, but hasn't been high enough priority for me to look into seriously yet.

In theory you can stop the problem by pressing TAB on its own after you return to the game.

Nope, unfortunately that does not work.
