    is any on else having this problem?

    my alt tab areo peek is covering up the alt tab grid.

    i like to hit alt tab and use my mouse to roleover a window i want to peek at.
    problem is when i roleover any window on the grid, the window overlaps the alt tab grid covering it up.

    in the rc the windows alway stay behind the alt tab grid.
    now they are going over the alt tab grid, what gives :confused:

    heres a video of what im taking about

    My alt tab grid stays on top on a newly installed copy of Win7 32 Ultimate.

    Notice in his video, his mouse never moves. He's just using the keyboard here, not rolling over the thumbnails with his mouse.

    edit:

    I should edit my previous post. It does work in the RC when you point at the thumbnail. It only covers the grid when you click the thumbnail.
