Game Minimizes Randomly

[STRAY]

I'm having a similar thing happen to me too, but I think I might know why...

When I move my cursor to the far left side of the screen, the cursor changes shape back into the the windows cursor from the stylized EQ interface cursor. Then, if I click in this area of the screen, I'm always sent back to the desktop.

What i did notice is that I have my Windows taskbar on the left hand side of the screen (running vertically), the area taken up by the the taskbar also coincidentally?? is the same area on my EQ interface that when clicked sends me back to the desktop.

I'm trying to figure out if I can solve the issue by placing the taskbar into a different spot or by using the auto-hide function to try and keep it from causing me to jump back to the desktop.

It's not a game-breaking problem, because I can use the full screen button (Alt + Enter doesn't work) in the EQ Options screen to get back to full screen, and I habitually avoid that spot...or just play in windowed mode.

BTW I'm running an Intel based laptop with Windows 7 - this didn't use to happen on the same computer on an earlier Windows XP installation.
