Air-to-Air Decision Window hidden

Come to a halt a few times now due to this.
Air-to-Air combat sometimes has a small decision / info window where you usually just click on OK. However, in latest beta release it is often beneath the main air-to-air window so game is stuck. have to hard exit as none of the game menus are available at this point (coding appears halted at this decision point).
We are both using win10 & teamviewer.

The way to clear it I have found 100% successful is to:
1. Click on the MWIF icon in the task bar to bring up the game
2. Press F5 which brings up a box.
3. Close the box
4. This then 'free's up' the air to air box. You can move it to one side slightly by putting the cursor on its left edge to reveal the hidden box.
Hey presto its all working again.

Thanks that helps but does not always work. Had to abandon again!

Here is the order to try to fix this bug.
1. Press F10 and close that popup screen.
2. Switch within the windows task bar to another program (not MWIF) and back again to MWIF.
3. Use the Windows task manager to refresh the screen.
Now, sometimes even the last one doesn't do the trick, I'm afraid...

How do you do step 3? I don't see anything abut refreshing from within the task manager.

This is the screen I get (it's in Dutch, but you should have the same possibilities, I believe):

Sorry to hear that - my step by step approach in post 2 has never failed yet - and this happens all the time.
I will take some screen shots next time it happens of what I am seeing - perhaps you have a different layout?

I'm afraid I have had the same bug when aborting from air to air all through the game. none of the fixes here work for me. is this a bug Steve is working on?

I am getting really tired of this one. I could control it in windows 7, but in windows 10, I can t figure it out. I am on Mac keyboard running Windows in Bootcamp, which may cause some problems, but previously I just started and closed another program, and that did the trick. Running 2.2.8.
