From the build .86 thread:
Me
---------------------------
I'm using build .84 and I'm unable to view any video in the window and browse the library at the same time. viewing in the window causes mc to minimize and clicking on it in the task bar only brings up the window playing the video.

If you set MC to use windowed mode, it'll minimize the main app by default when switching.
Either of these work:
Set MC not to use Windowed mode, but instead use Full Screen
Hold 'Shift' while starting playback to disable MC from minimizing when going to windowed mode
-------------------------------
I think that pressing shift when pressing play is a bit of an obscure way to achieve this. How would anybody know to do this? And without some obvious way to do it, rating images, tagging etc while being able to see them enlarged in the window would be impossible.
On the plus side, I do like the way that hitting stop when viewing images or video brings you back to the library instead of playing now. That feels really intuitive.
