Not able to switch between applications?

  • 772

enter image description here

As shown in the picture, If I am on Google chrome application and wants to switch to any other application for ex: EClipse, Just clicking on the Eclipse icon does not launch Eclipse.

The same is happening when I do the alt-tab.

Not sure what is going on? Hope My question is clear.

  1. OK, totally rewriting this because I didn't understand the question. You're saying that if Chrome is active, then

    1. Alt-Tab to switch applications doesn't work
    2. Clicking the Launcher icon for other items doesn't work

    I have no idea, but just to further understand it, can you click the Desktop or another non-Chrome window to get out of Chrome? And does normal use of Alt-Tab & the Launcher return until you use Chrome again? Or do you have to quit Chrome?

    I can understand that Chrome might intercept Alt-Tab; VirtualBox does this and I just have to click on something else to move the focus out of VirtualBox, but I can click on the Launcher and it works just fine. I don't understand how Chrome is interfering with the mouse outside of its window.
