Fullscreen mode FWIW

In testing by hosting a solo game (aka with Game Over dialogue box up) it is hit or miss, and not 100%. It however always crashes when tested while participating/spectating in an actual game and alt-tab.

w2k user reported that they do not have trouble alt-tabbing.

seems that the SDL patch included with 0.70b2 already fixed the problem magically

reopened, it still occurs

according to NOiZE it only happens on ATI cards.

This bug really ought to be fixed before a next beta. Or at least a simple solution based on handling window activation message and disabling the rendering code if the window is not active should be tried. If that doesn't help the bug can be lowered to 'crash' level again.

reducing to 'crash' for aforementioned reason

Does this actually still happen in Spring 0.75b2 or later?

Assuming it's fixed or went away some other way, because I can't reproduce it (never could tho) and I've heard nothing about this bug for quite some time now.
