Basically if i try to load up Team Fortress 2 and let the game lose focus (e.g. Alt Tab) then the game will make itself a 800x600 window and will only go to the correct res if I focus back and wait for it to fully load. If I leave it to fully load first, it stays windowed and the graphics/mouse do not scale to the window (squashed and mouse in wrong place).

This can also (but rarely) happen if I load a server and switch away before returning. This is not a new issue and i've had it for as long as I can remember but I never really thought of reporting it.

Not a critical issue but its a problem for those of us who like to load games in the background while reading reddit :P.

Any updates? No one else having this issue. Its kinda odd because I've always had this issue.
