Shell prompt loses focus after switching tabs

I can also confirm on this issue.

This is a known issue and is actually a fix for another more severe bug. Without this, the mRemoteNG window cannot be moved/dragged while a PuTTY session is active. This won't be fixed until we replace PuTTY with a COM or .NET control.

Cant you just add a script to nremoteNG which just do mouse click on screen to focus the session when you switch tabs? When i use just putty and ALT+TAB it, it's always in focus, it must be integration problem. Is it possible to integrate putty in tabs as windows?

This may be of low priority but all of my colleague, whom I suggest this tool, are not using it mainly because of this issue. It gets really annoying for a heavy putty user to click on the shell window every time after app switching.

This feature seems to me very important. And it should quite easy to develop : did you try to simply send an mouse event to windows in order to set the focus in the good tab?

By the way, your tool is very usefull and this feature is driving me crasy :-).

This issue is what's keeping me from regularily using this tool, too. It's quite cumbersome. :-|

I'm increasing this to medium priority.

Fixing the focus when tabs within mRemoteNG are switched shouldn't be too difficult. Fixing the focus problems when switching from other applications to mRemoteNG with a PuTTY session open is turning out to be much more difficult though.
