Howdy,

I recently did an upgrade of some of my software. Key upgrades were going to wine 0.9.50 and nvidia driver to 1.0-9755

Something that I noticed when I launched wow was it said reset graphics settings.
So it does, seems to run the same as before.

However I seem to not be able to "alt+tab" out of the game. It forces it back into the game. At first I thought this might be different resolutions, but I confirmed that both we're set to the same resolution.

This is kind of annoying when I need to kill the game due to a problem or jump on vent.

Any suggestions?

If it helps Im running fluxbox, but that hasn't made a difference in the past.

WoW has all kinds of problems when you ALT-TAB out of it (usually a loss of sound or complete lock-up/crash). There is a specific fix for it, but it requires you to custom compile Wine with either a patch or an existing code modification:
