Most have a focus system; if the game is full screen it generally takes over the graphics hardware and therefore it's not really possible to switch between the two without that happening.

I'm not sure what the Mac equivalent would be, but for some games in Windows you can select something along the lines of "Borderless" or "Windowed" and these will let you switch out without the same level of disruption.
