MC not gaining focus when clicked on task bar

[trittico]

this one is a bit wierd. 

I have MC open all the time and it is pinned to the task bar.

Many times though, when I click on the task bar icon, MC will not gain focus. I finally figured out somehow that when this happened, if I press the alt key, it would gain focus.

this happens on different computers running Win 10 and Win 11.

It only seems to affect MC.

Anyone else have this problem?
