Can't tab out of fullscreen on OS X


Recommended Posts

If I set the game to run in fullscreen on my MacBook, it becomes impossible to switch applications. Command-Tab doesn't work, the function keys for Dashboard and Mission Control don't work. Command-Option-Escape, which normally brings up Force Quit Applications over the current window, crashes the game instantly.

I'm curious why this is, as well. I've seen this problem in lots of Mac games, mainly ports, and it makes no sense. It's not an OS limitation; there are plenty of games that can run fullscreen properly, without taking over the OS. Why does this keep happening with Mac ports?
