Alt-tab while in fullscreen = crash

The bug:
(while in fullscreen and in a world*) Switching to another window with ALT+TAB and switching back to Minecraft freezes the game for several seconds and sometimes crashes it**.

How to reproduce:
-Open Minecraft and join a world*
-Press F11 to fullscreen Minecraft
-Do NOT open GUIs or pause the game
-Press Alt-Tab and switch to another window
-Wait some minutes (up to 10)
-Press Alt-Tab and switch to Minecraft
-Sometimes it freezes and sometimes it crashes**

*It happens while in the menu too, but rarely
**Most of the times all works propely. Then reload the world\try another world\wait more time

What I think happens:
By analyzing the crash log "latest.txt" from 17w13b I found:
— [15:42:59] [Server thread/INFO]: Stypox lost connection: TextComponent{text='Disconnected', siblings=[], style=Style{hasParent=false, color=null, bold=null, italic=null, underlined=null, obfuscated=null, clickEvent=null, hoverEvent=null, insertion=null}}
Then:
— [15:42:59] [Server thread/INFO]: Stypox ha abbandonato la partita (Stypox left the game)
And:
— [15:42:59] [Server thread/INFO]: Stopping singleplayer server as player logged out
But I only tabbed out and I didn't left the internal server. I think it does that every time you tab out of the game while in fullscreen. If someone can read Minecraft code... please check this little thing.
When I tabbed back in Minecraft (35 minutes later) it reloaded the server and logged me back in. Then it crashed. (I'm not going to post all the threads 😉)

Files:
-"latest.txt" is the log file (italian language). No crash-reports were created.
-Image "2017-02-27_19.34.31.jpg" and "Immagine.jpg" are the same screenshot (taken with stamp), but "Immagine.jpg" is rendered with Paint and "2017-02-27_19.34.31.jpg" with Cyberlink Photodirector 8. They shows Minecraft freezed. I don't know why but they are a little bit different using different programs...
-"Immagine2.jpg" shows Minecraft after clicking on the screen. The black colour is in reality trasparent. Then all will become white and Windows will show the crash message.

If the game is crashing are you able to attach the crash log file to the issue?

✔ I attached the crash log file. I hope that's the right one. I use Minecraft on italian language, so sorry about it...

Please check if the latest development snapshot 17w43b fixes your issue.

Now it seems to be fixed.

I'm currently having the same problem. Every time I tab out of Minecraft and go back, it freezes. In game my friend said i was moving around but my screen was frozen.

I had same problem to

This problem still exists on the official release of 1.13.

Once I alt+tab to another window, the game freezes instantly and several seconds later it crashes.
