LocutusOfBorg, my last test was not testing screen sharing but receiving webcam video, which was not the original bug problem.
The original bug problem is reproducible if the other party shares their full screen via clicking Video and Screen Sharing button -> Share Your Screen -> Share Full Screen Then if one maximizes the other parties shared screen, then tries to restore or maximize another window over it, it is unsuccessful.
