2.1.5: Tabbing out

[Wagonlitz]

When playing I sometimes tab out of the game to do other things---mostly to look something up on the internet. After the patch I have experienced that the game acted strange when tabbing back in---also when tabbed out I could sometimes see the game bottoms appear. In the end the game became black when tabbing in. I then tabbed back out again and the ratio had changed to something looking like 4:3. I then just wanted to kill the game, but the hotkey for the terminal didn't work---in the end I rebooted to be sure that nothing else had been messed up.

Has somebody else experienced something similar? I am running Linux by the way.

I have the same problem. Very simlair one occurs in EU4: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?778382-Switching-out-of-EU4-1.6-and-back-in-breaks-screen-resolution-on-Linux - in the thread you my find some workarounds.
The problem seems to be connected with the introduction of the new launcher - it looks like the game is using launcher resolution after switching window.

For me most convenient option is to run the game in second workspace (in Linux) and the switch workspaces instead of Alt+Tab.
