Not A Bug Windowing Issue

    On first launch of EQ in a freshly booted laptop (Win 10), I have the following issue:

    - Any attempt to enter text in a chat window on the bottom line (only) of the screen causes a window swap to trigger whatever desktop app is active outside EQ at that portion of the screen e.g. towards left will be Windows search bar.

    Note: this does NOT happen any more once the initial swap (and back) has happened, during the same EQ session. IT WILL recur if EQ is closed and then re-started, in the same Windows session.

    I can pre-empt the issue, by: once EQ loaded, swap windows to desktop and back again. The fault will then not occur.

    I should add that I run in non-windowed mode.

    For me it happens, when i click in the area on the bottom oft the screen, where the taskbar of the underlying desktop is located.
    As with the OP, this is on a Windows 10 computer.

    From Dec 2018 - this may help

    This is Win10 being overzealous. I presume you have "Auto Hide Taskbar" enabled?

    - Right-Click Taskbar
    - Click taskbar settings
    - Disable all references to 'Automatically Hide Taskbar'

    EQ should function normally when you click at the bottom of the screen.

    Thank you ILoveMBandwidth for this if it works

    This definitely sounds like a Windows 10 thing and not an EQ thing.
