I've noticed that if I hit dock at station and tab to do something else when I come back to eve the characters still floating in space. Never used to do this, seems to lose the dock command since its not the active window.

same problem here ... not sure it's linked to ALT+TAB as I use WIN+D (return to desktop) to switch between alts. Have same problem with the Jump button. Very annoying ...

If you run the client in either windowed mode, the game should proceed normally even when it's not the focus. That may not help you if you're unable to use windowed mode for whatever reason, but it's a possible solution.

Yep, same here. Jump and dock commands given while window has focus don't get executed if the window no longer has focus when the client gets around to doing it. Very annoying.

Same with me, hope this gets fixed soon.

Is there any news on this one yet? I submitted a bug report on it, but that got the 'not filtered' tag.

I found a workaround, if you make sure stargates and stations are visible in your overview, docking and jumping will work.
