Can anyone else reproduce this? I don't have a windows key, so I can't.

I've tried it a couple of times - nothing happens in windowed mode and all it does in Fullscreen mode is minimise DF and bug out the graphics until you hit F11.

I'm on Windows XP though - maybe it's Vista related?

I tried it out on my Windows 7 system here. Nothing seems to happen except the graphics issue like Wtamer mentioned.

ok, so on further research, nothing happens when it is windowed, but always reproducable for me on fullscreen. The F11 thing seems to work though? But still not sure why it crashes sometimes else.

Hmm, on Vista with Mayday graphics, pressing F11 caused it to crash, so I remapped it to a key combination I wouldn't likely press. However, on Windows 7, it works normally with vanilla and just gives an error (with the F11 key) for Mayday graphics.

With Windows 7 and the windows key, it works fine. For fullscreen it does minimize the game and when I bring it back up, the ratio is whacked out and I have to press F11 to go back to windowed and then F11 again to go fullscreen. Might have something to do with the fact that I have the vanilla version set the windowed size to the same size ratio as fullscreen to make the windowed screen bigger.

Reminder sent to: narakal

Any updates? Does this still occur in 31.08 SDL?

No updates on this one, so I guess we can assume it's gone now.
