[b17] Multi-tasking broken in beta 17

#1 Post by Predawn »

Swapping out from full screen graphics mode to other programs on the desktop caused the windows mouse pointer to be locked at the top left corner, and I could not return to Tome via Alt+Tab (Chose ToME but no effect). Cue task manager -> end task (and that was fun without a mouse!!!).
Like the new smooth movement, but Windows compatability is more important to me.

This was the first time I have seen this, although I have only dabbled in Beta 16 to check for possible bugs.
As yet, I have not had a b16 char reach level 10 yet, through playing chars that I have little experience with. (and tried Insane mode ... ow ow ow stop hitting me!)

I shall test B16 further to determine if the problem exists there.

Multi-tasking in beta 16 also causes the mouse pointer to lock at the top left corner, something I had not checked previously.

A further check show that a windowed ( non full screen) mode does not show this behaviour of locking the mouse pointer.

Just disable the custom cursor and you'll be fine.
