[libavg-users] Power button disabled during fullscreen?

[Maarten Burie]

Very strange indeed.

I've filed a bug.  (I couldn't select the product version I'm using 
because the highest selectable was 0.9. I've version 1.0.1)

I hope you're able to reproduce and solve this problem!

Thanks for the support so far.

Cheers, Maarten

All we do is run the player fullscreen (or not). The only thing that springs to mind is if the keyhandler is somehow swallowing the call? I'm not sure that's even possible though. The only code change between running fullscreen and not is a boolean that we pass straight to libavg to tell the player to run fullscreen or not (see below example). It's odd then that the same code running prevents shutdown when running fullscreen but not when running windowed!
