    no bug [4.44] Launching application loses focus after closing Irfanview

    Hi!
    Since I think 4.44 and I think possibly a couple of earlier versions Irfanview does not return focus to the launching application.

    So for instance if I open an image from Total Commander, then close it using ESC (or mouse) focus is lost and I have to Alt+Tab back to TC. The same with Windows Explorer.
    Kind of annoying and unproductive when looking at a lot of images.

    This is on Windows 10 pro x64. I can't think of anything special on my system causing this.

    Might be a known bug, seems kind of obvious... if so apologies...

      Oh and forgot to say (sorry):
      Triple monitor setup. I only open images on primary monitor.
      Using DPI scaling in Windows, 150%, 125%.

      Edit; just tried complete reinstall, and also tried older versions 4.40, and same problem.
      So something must be weird on my system but can't figure out what.

        I've testing some more, and turns out it's bloody Avast again messing stuff up - this time it was the 'Gaming mode' thinking Irfanview was a 'game' (since it can be run fullscreen), and stealing focus, even though I actually didn't run it full-screen.

        I've opened a support request on Avast, and disabled 'game mode' for Irfanview.
        Getting kind of tired of stuff like this from Avast, thinking of changing...

        Sorry for the trouble.
        <3 Irfanview, best image viewer ever (since ACDSee became a bloated mess).
