Full screen does not mean Always on top

if you set "full screen" capture one window and/or the viewer window you can't switch between them.

If you "full screen" the main window you can't even see the preferences window. This because programmers thought that "Full Screen" mode should be set with "Always on top" propertie too.

Am I wrong ?

thanks

  My setup: WinXP, CO 4.5.1 Pro, Show Viewer (F10) enabled, both windows maximized, single monitor
  Switching between windows: either with button on Taskbar (each window has a button) or with the generic Windows Alt+Tab key combination.
  
  Does that work for you?

  You are correct. In Full Screen (F11) mode - versus Windows mode - on a single physical screen you can not navigate between windows, be it either both CO 4.5.x windows or CO 4.5.x and another programs window. I have not tried this on a dual monitor setup.
  
  Best workaround I can come up with is to use the regular Window mode but Auto-Hide the task bar. This gives you almost maximum space with the exception of the program bar on top, but you still have navigation. Or spend money on a second monitor (not tried that, but I guess it should work).
