Why was this locked?

I can confirm that this is not just a sound issue. I got blown up an hour after I clicked Dock in the right system and alt tabbed, figuring I would, you know, dock.

Did you actually press dock or was it autopiloted?

Were you on grid with the station when you clicked dock?

Were you within docking range when you clicked dock?

Did you alt tab before or after hearing "Docking permission requested"?

Are you using Fullscreen, Windowed, or Fixed Windowed mode?

I can also confirm this has nothing to do with sound, this happens to me too. When I alt-tab between two accounts in full screen mode, the account not currently on my screen won't dock or jump through gates if I used the jump/dock button and I had to warp to gate/station. When I alt-tab back in, the client acts as if it just receives the command, and I begin the jump/dock.

It sounds very likely to me that this is a full screen issue because if EVE remains in windowed mode it can still function even if it is not in focus, but if minimized (which is what happens to a fullsceen application that isnt in focus) causes it to stop actually doing anything.

Answering the above questions I posted would probably help devs debug this sorta thing so that they can track down where and when in the game logic the disconnect comes from.

That's not an answer to any of his questions.

Confirming it also happens in windowed mode when alt-tabbed - just gotta pay attention or be watching the screen when you arrive at station.
