Re: [Rpcemu] Full screen display

Which version of RPCEmu are you using? This used to be a problem with the 0.8.x series but I thought it had been avoided in the 0.9.x series, which uses Qt rather than Allegro to produce the interface. I don't think I've encountered it recently, but then on the HP laptop that I run Linux on, I start RPCEmu up in full-screen mode and run it at a lower resolution than full-screen (which, with a native resolution of 1920 x 1089, results in text that is too small to read comfortably in RO).

It would be surprising if two completely different methods of generating the UI produced the same error.

You can probably avoid most of the use cases for coming out of full screen mode by moving to another virtual desktop. The keystrokes Frank gave work with most Linux desktops, but in Gnome — which I use (I'm currently running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) — it is Super+PageUp/Super+PageDown.

If RO traps the standard keystroke you might find that changing to a combination involving the Super (i.e. Windows) key helps.

I usually go to full screen before the desktop appears.

In that case the window ends up correctly 'centered'.

I've just tried that and it seems to work. However, if I

leave full-screen and then re-invoke it, I get the same

problem which you describe in the first quoted paragraph

above.

Yes, there's definitely a problem here.
