0007638: switching to/from fullscreen crashes [Win7]
when pressing F11 to switch to\from fullscreen mode sometimes you cant choose DF as an active window.
my last example:
was playing in fullscreen, switched to window mode, but the window dont appear (although, DF was choosen as an active window) so i pressed f11 again, and game resumed at fullscreen mode. after several time pressing f11 it even not started to play in fullscreen. then again after some time of pressing f11 game just crashed.
1. play the game.
2. start switching game window mode.
3. enjoy playing from old saves.
have this bug at DF2012

probable way of reproduce:
1. play the game in fullscreen mode when switching to other windows (browser, therapist, etc)
2. start switching from\to fullscreen mode.
3. when you switching from fullscreen mode and there's no DF window poped out, than its wrong (right)
4. mannually swtich DF to active window and press f11 again, it should be opened in fullscreen mode (and when you press f11 again - DF window will dissapear)
5. start switching F11 rapidly and in some time crash will appear.
PS can be probably find at earleyr versions of DF
