This is fully expected, and there is very little that can be done to alter
this - Alt-Tab is a special key combination that is captured by the client
Operating System, and in many/most cases will never be passed through to
the web browser, let alone a web application running in the browser. On
non-Windows clients (Mac and Linux), you have some control over this - you
can usually configure the key combinations on those operating systems such
that they can ignore Alt-Tab and will pass it through to the application.
For Windows, this is not the case.

What I said above is certainly true for anything up through 1.5.5 - for
1.6.0, we did introduce the Full Screen + Keylock feature, which allows
*SOME* special key combinations to be ignored by the client O/S and passed
through when the Guacamole web site enters full screen mode. *HOWEVER*, I
do not know for sure that Alt-Tab is one of them, and it may vary
browser-to-browser. You can try it, but, if it doesn't work, there isn't
much that we can do about it.
