Major Alt+Tab problem with ReNamer dialogs

Tested with the latest beta under Win7 SP1 x86.

Open custom dialogs such as Settings / All Settings, Settings / Filters, Presets / Save As, Presets / Create Links etc. Now press Alt+Tab and you'll see that ReNamer has completely disappeared from the active applications list! As long as those dialogs are open, you simply cannot Alt+Tab back to ReNamer at all, and have to activate it with the mouse.

Can't believe I didn't spot this earlier, or maybe it's due to a recent change in the beta. In any case, this needs to be fixed.

I'm using XP SP3 and seems to be ok using alt+tab key combination. Active was Opera, ReNamer, some folder window... Maybe there is an issue with Win7

I'm getting problem with Analyze dialog disappearing but will not spread the thread... It's already on to do list...

@eR@SeR: Did you try to Alt+Tab after opening one of the program's dialogs mentioned above? If it works, then it's definitely an issue on Win7 only (and maybe Vista, if someone can check). BTW, I confirmed that the same bug exists on Win7 SP1 x64 as well.

Yes off course. I tried with all mentioned dialogs and everything is ok. I would like to see other users opinion about this issue... I have latest beta (53).

Yes please, can others using Vista (and Windows 7 especially) confirm this and report back? Of course, I did check on multiple systems before reporting, so it is not something specific to a single broken OS install. Something has surely changed in how these custom dialogs are treated by Windows, and this needs to be addressed by Denis.
