Well I think this is part of my issue.

right after 3.20 came out I upgraded and had no issues at all. The other night I wanted to try it in Windowed mode, but it did not recognize the Shift key (so S was the same as s...). I switched back to fullscreen, and restarted Dom3 and everything was ok for a bit, but eventually I lost the commander buttons.

So I did the reinstalls and same issues, *if* I alt-tab or try resolution changes.

I did a complete wipe of everything in the dom3 folder as uninstall still leaves a few odds and ends, and reinstall repatch... still the same thing.

As best I can tell Dom3 does a resolution change when I start it, even though it should be in the same resolution as I nominally use, however, I don't put this past some issue I have with my (older) system.

I can tell you that when I alt-tab back into dom3 the screen is not 'full screen', but rather a portion of my screen, so I can see my desktop along the edges of the screen, but I can't interact with it, also the mouse pointer is offset from where it actually points to on the screen.

Anyway, thanks for the support even if I'm the only one having this issue

edit: If it matters my resolution is 1152:864, though that is a natural resolution for dom3 apparently.
