No ALT-TAB out of game?

Asked about this in the 'observations' thread, but it drowned there...

I can't seem to ALT-TAB out of the game.
The windows button doesn't work either.
Sounds like a small thing, but to me it's pretty important as I'm not going to be playing much without this working (long story).

So are we supposed to be able to ALT-TAB out of the game?
Or is this just not going to be possible with Gettysburg...

If you run the game in a window are you able to ALT-TAB out of it then? I'm away from my game PC at the moment but I think this requires unchecking the "full screen option."

I have been able to alt-tab out of the game in both modes with full selected and not selected. However, when in full, seems like the game pauses when you alt-tab but when unselected, the game continues even if it doesn't have the focus.

You should be able to alt-tab, it was a last minute fix, but it worked for all of us.

Got it working now.
I can't ALT-TAB out unless I have some other program open.
So I can't ALT-TAB to the desktop, but as long as I have Firefox or another program running I can ALT-TAB out fine to that program, also in full window mode.
So I'm happy! :)

By the way, this is slowly, but steadily, shaping up to be the best 45 dollars I've spent in a long, long time...

Can't wait for the campaign mode...! ;)
