Description
[http://sourceforge.net/p/ufoai/bugs/2890 Item 2890] imported from sourceforge.net tracker on 2013-01-28 19:50:51

Game behaves oddly when trying to save; it took me a bit of time to figure out what was going on. After running the game, I am able to save without a problem in a new slot or a previously used one (i.e. by selecting a slot, typing a name, and hitting the enter key). However, at times, other programs on my computer will force the game to be minimized (I play in full screen mode). If I try to save after the game has been minimized and I have brought it back up, I can type in a name for the savegame but upon hitting enter nothing happens. This behavior only occurs when the minimized game is brought back up using Alt-Tab inside Windows 7. If I click on the icon of the game on the Windows task bar to continue playing, I am able to save without problems, even when I had previously had one (where the game window had been switched to using Alt-Tab). It should be noted that while the game window does not have focus on my machine, it forces the mouse cursor to the top left of the screen (though not immediately after switching- the mouse cursor is forced to the corner several seconds after minimizing the game window, This is why Alt-Tab is more convenient for switching back to the game but using the mouse is still possible with quick enough timing).
