SYMPTOMS
When you run an MS-DOS prompt in a window and press ALT+TAB to switch to
another application, the title of the application you are switching to
remains on the screen in the task-switching window after you release the
TAB key.
CAUSE
This problem occurs if you press the ALT+TAB key combination immediately
after pressing the ALT+SPACEBAR key combination without releasing the ALT
key between the two actions.
RESOLUTION
To remove the task-switching window from the screen, you must press the
ALT+TAB key combination again.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
