Bigbox Freezing up when in goes in out and focus

Is there a fix for this issue? Sometimes if something pops up and switches focus and you switch back to Bigbox it becomes unresponsive. It is similar to the issue here and I end up having to kill it. I can't be the only one with this issue.

Only report issue I've heard recently about this being an issue is with the ROG Ally when armory crate takes focus after a game or emulator closes. Are you running into this one a non-Ally device? Is there a game or application that seems to cause the issue the most?

OXP2 user here and if BB loses focus running a Mame game it locks up hard. I cannot do anything but hard power down as the touchscreen is dead. If I have a keyboard attached, I am able to bring up task bar and end BB but the service remains running and has to be ended via task manager. If I disable RTSS it no longer locks up. Not that I need RTSS running for Mame, but it's too easy to forget to shut off before launching Mame. 
However I do now notice there's 4 windows present via ALT+tab. LAunchbox, launchbox game startup window, mame with game running and a CMD for mame thats blank if everything works ok and if not will state a specific rom isn;t present and may not run correctly or an issue with hiscore was found. Clearly thats a mame thing but losing focus causes LB/BB to focus on that Mame CMD window and I have to ALT+TAB to get back to the the MAME game itself. Disabling/enabling startup screen options doesn;t make a difference. The focus still goes to mames running "status" CMD window. I guess if you don't need to change TDP there's no reason for Mame to lose focus and makes all of this null and void lol

Thanks for this. May be onto something with the startup/pause processes still running. I'll see if I can use that to attempt to replicate the issue.

I am noticing this behavior as well on the latest release on my arcade cabinet build and my ROG Ally *without* any ASUS bloatware installed.
