Actually, it's worst. Once PVD started, SOMETIMES no other program could be brought in front of PVD's window (by Alt+Tab, for instance, nor clicking on it's icon on a taskbar), until PVD's window is minimized by user, no matter if PVD's window is maximized or resized.
If Windows option to auto hide taskbar is checked, If PVD is maximized I can't invoke taskbar by moving cursor to the lower edge of screen, so I have to press WIN button on a keyboard to invoke it.
It was the same with PVD 1.0.23 beta
Sorry for my English.
