Survex 1.2.8: Aven can't get out of full screen mode

[Footleg]

I just updated to 1.2.8 to test this on my 64bit Windows 7 Enterprise
laptop at work. I do not see the problem that Rowena is reporting. Pressing
F11 switches to full screen view, and pressing it again switches back to
the windowed view again. The only quirky thing I see is that in full screen
view the Windows task bar still appears on top of the window, even though
the Aven window is covering the entire screen (I can see my model though
the semi-transparent taskbar. Who says the glassy UI features of Windows 7
are not of any use?!). I see this same task bar z-order issue with 1.2.7
too. Note that the Therion viewer Loch appears on top of the task bar when
I put that into full screen view.
