Interesting! This is a bit different than how it used to behave in Windows 7. In Windows 7, the Windows taskbar always came to the front when clicking anywhere outside of the full screen app (not just the DF taskbar). However, it appears that they've changed that in Windows 8, so I'm not sure why it's still coming to the front when clicking the DF taskbar. I'll add this to our list, and we'll see what we can find out.

Thanks Pete!

I still had this on my list, and I've just re-tested it in Windows 8 RTM. It looks like Windows 8 has gone back to the old method, where clicking anywhere outside the full screen application makes the Windows taskbar come to the front (same as in Windows 7). Since the DF behaviour now matches the Win 8 behaviour again, I'll close this out.

Please let me know if you still have any questions about this.

Thanks!
