In previous versions I have not observed this problem. Now that I am running 1.7.4, when I launch, it goes full-screen (as that is what it remembers from previous runs), but when I attempt to switch to windowed mode, either through the Options dialog or by pressing F11, the screen goes black and stays black. I tried clicking on that screen and pressing Alt-F4, but instead of closing Minecraft, it closed other applications I was running. I may simply have missed the Minecraft window in my blind clicking, though. 🙂
The music being played by the game at the menu screen continues playing without issue.

Okay, I will do that. Just for completeness, I have a couple of additional observations:
1) A reboot did not correct the issue.
2) Using Alt-Tab to switch away does correctly switch it to a windowed view.
I wonder if it is related to new code added for the Twitch.tv integration. In any case, I will pursue the matter further at the Support Centre. Many thanks 🙂
