Alt-Tab in Full Screen Mode still isn't Minimizing Game Properly - BUG

To: FF14 Dev Team,

After 5 weeks in with multiple patches, the ALT-TAB Bug on PC is still not fixed:

Starting in 3.0 Heavensward (still happening today), there is a bug on PC that if you ALT-TAB while running the game in FULL SCREEN Mode, the Game won't minimize properly. This has *not* been a problem prior to 3.0 Heavensward Early Access.

In 2.0+ you can Alt-Tab just fine and the FF XIV client / game will minimize properly.

Currently with the DX11 Client for 3.0, when you ALT-TAB, the Game will either partially minimize BUT with the Task Bar forced "up" (with the FF XIV Icon in the Bar Blinking non-stop), or 50% of the time, it appears in a shrunk window *partially* running on the desktop (it doesn't minimize) and you try and open a Web Browser or check Email, and the game is chugging in the background fully displayed.

Can we please fix this bug?

Thanks!

World name: Masamune
Character name: Kiara Silvermoon

Monster name: n/a
Class/Level: Paladin / 50
Party or solo: n/a
In-game time: 10:00 a.m. Eorzea
Area and coordinates: Anywhere in the game

Steps:
1. Make sure you have a Web Browser, Email Program open in the background (or a Folder).

2. Load up Final Fantasy XIV Heavensward Early Access DX11 Client.

3. Make sure you're running in Full Screen Mode.

4. ALT-TAB (I'm using an Nvidia 660 Ti GTX w/ latest drivers) and observe:

Results: The Final Fantasy XIV game WON'T minimize properly (try this a few times Alt-Tabbing if you don't get it to happen the first time).

Instead FFXIV Heavensward will have 1 or 2 results: (1) It will either be "half open" on the desktop / in a shrunk window and chugging your whole PC; OR (2) It will partially minimize with the Icon Bar Blinking non-stop, forcing your Task Bar up.

This was not a problem in 2.0. Only started with Heavensward Early Access.
