Question issue with switching screens.

ok here is my dilemma.

i have fastgameswitch enabled with 4 copies of warcraft.
(f1,f2,f3 & f4).

enabling auto window focus.

*active* == main window. 1 master, *clients are numbered, 2,3,4*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
while the F1 (master) screen is active, if i press F2 it switches correctly to CLIENT2.

while the F2 (client2) screen is active if i press F3 to switch to client3, it instead displays F1 (master).

------------------------------------------------------------------------
while the F1 (master) screen is active if i press f2,f3 or f4 it will correctly display the correct client.

IF on any other (f2,f3,f4) as main window, it will not switch from f2-f4 for example, it will only display f1, but if i press it again it will switch to f4.

help plz because im confounded.

running windows7,quadcore,4gb,gtx275.

(incidentally, i did reinstall windowsxp64 yesterday to see if it was windows7 messing around, same issue no difference)

the confusing part is, this is a new install of the operating system, so its not bogged down with any crap.

any ideas?

did you focus the new main window ?

Press F2, click on the main screen once (mouseclick)
Press F3, working now ?

because if you dont focus the new window it will swap around windows as it likes to soemhow

Yea it is because you aren't focused to the window. You can just click the window to make sure you have it focused.

Or use Autofocus. The new updated Pwnboxer that is coming out soon has a better Autofocus for this that works perfectly.

It is because of the focus issue, trust me. You need to focus on the main window before switching. If it feels like its switching the wrong window, then it is a focus thing. It only switches between focused windows and the one you've selected to switch to.

Just get the new Pwnboxer, enable the window focus, and give that a whirl.

f2 is now master screen unless i specifically click it, when i press f3 it will show f1.

i have also noticed that occasionally the clients down the right hand side, upon switching around, will become `zoomed` in. and go back to normal if i move the mouse over them.
