Windows 10 Taskbar vs PA Toolbar
Hi guys, anyone else having this issue?
I mean, whenever I clicked one of those "Foundations, Materials etc" button it will unfocus the game and automatically click the taskbar. So if I pressed the Rooms button it will open Google Chrome, when I press Materials it will open File Explorer.
Anyone can help?

I have the same problem, it makes the game unplayable in fulscreen...
Anyone have the solution to this? Please, the game is really unplayable as bernie said.

Same problem here, as @bernie said, I basically can't play the game full screen at all like this, it's pretty intollerable. Last time I tried to research a fix about the best there was at the time was to just window the game

Playing the game in windowed.. But but but I cant use the mouse to slide the screen :( That is out of question.

Quite a lot of threads were made but I haven't found any solutions. Windowed is the way to go but it indeed sucks not being able to play normally.

I've only got this problem when some other program is active; then I can't click things in the game at the position where that other progams' window is located on the desktop. Perhaps it has something to do whether you have the taskbar locked or not. Perhaps you can solve it when you set the taskbar to auto hide?

Indeed setting the taskbar to auto hide DOES solve the problem. But I'm no fans of auto hide. So that isn't really is a solution for me..
Now.. No Devs here?

What hardware do you have in common? Lets start there. If we can put together enough details, starting an official bug report may work out.

What are your system specs?
MAKE/MODEL (if this is an OEM PC)
CPU
RAM
Video Card
Video Card Driver version
Motherboard
Number of monitors

Any details you can post. I've never ran into an issue like this in full screen, it sounds driver related.

I'd recommend not playing in windowed mode. Windowed mode decreases performance anyway since your computer thinks it has to render both the desktop and the game. You can alt+tab to desktop without windowed mode if you really need to switch back and forth.

Auto hiding the taskbar does not really work anyway as the taskbar will still appear if the cursor touches the left side of the screen (or whatever side your taskbar is set on)

Make: Microsoft
Model: Surface Pro 4
CPU: 6th Gen Intel Core i5
RAM: 8gb
GPU: i5 Intel HD graphics 520
Driver version: up-to-date, can't tell much more
Monitor: integrated @ 2736 x 1824

OS: Windows 10, Insider Preview thing with fast updates

I'll try the game on my main rig when I get back at my place to see if the bug is still there

Yeah. What OS is your main rig running?
I just tried this on Windows 7 and the issue is not there.

Sorry to answer late.
My main rig runs Windows 10 too (a lees up-to-date version tho) but I won't be able to try it out until Monday. Any improvement on your side?

I have the feeling it won't cause any problem though, I never had any kind of problem with this PC. Only my Surface with its crazy DPI is a bother when it comes to indie games.
