I'm using Win 7.
Specifically, when I run Diablo III - maximized and the cursor is at the top of the screen, I can activate menu items when clicking near the top of the screen while playing and seeing only the game.
I have the menu set to auto-hide at the top of the screen. When the application activation occurs, I never catch a glimpse of the menu, but the programs launch and interrupt game-play.
PS - Is this the venue for bug-reports ? The responses here seem dismissive, rather than investigatory.
