Summary0008784: Leaving main menu in windowed mode semi-blanks the screen with new lost focus pause option
DescriptionTo recreate:

Fire up AIWar in Windowed mode. Change to another screen (say, your web browser). The main menu disappears.

Go to start a new game. Flip windows. The only thing remaining visible is the Star Map.

Go into game, flip screens. Most information windows are gone. FYI, this last one is annoying enough that I've turned the option off in settings... which corrects the problem. Hard to do AARs when half the information keeps disappearing.

System Info:
Windows Vista, Dual Monitor, ATI card with up to date (within last month) drivers.

Btw, it's asking for PC UAC permissions, it didn't used to. I'm assuming that's for the 'pause on leave' fix.

Hrm, I see why that would happen. This will require more specific handling, I think.

For 5.038:

* Fixed a bug in the last couple versions where the detect-loss-of-focus-windowed-mode (on windows) logic was causing the game to stop rendering a lot of stuff just because the window didn't have focus, though the window could actually still be visible.

Thanks :)


Oh, on the UAC thing: it doesn't ask me for it when I run my steam copy, and I've got UAC on the default settings. It would be very worrisome if it's triggering UAC, though; that might be a dealbreaker for leaving this feature in the game, as this game needs to not need administrative access to run :)
