[lacks info] Alt-Tab breaks game lobby input.
« on: 18 November 2011, 09:26:16 »
HI,
  Windows 7 64 bit, MG Beta1 and release,  windows default input language EN, additional input languages TH.

Steps to reproduce -

Open MG, select 'New Game'  - 'Internet Game'
Press Enter to chat, send a message or 2. Now ALT-TAB

Does not happen every time, sometimes first time, but not more than 5 or 6 times. I do not do this quickly, I alt-tab 1 or 2 mins (after replying to email etc) tab back. I never switch input languages, TH is for my wife and she rarely uses my PC.

Result -
  typing into game lobby chat appears to do nothing, no characters show. I can see others new messages appearing though.
 Press enter and others can see what I typed, I cannot and what I typed does not show in main chat window.
 I can see replies to the message I cannot see.

in the current release version I found that pressing Alt key - release, press CTRL - release and ESC - release - then I could see what I was typing again,

In beta1 this does not work. I have to quit and restart MG.

Regards
BaDboD

This issue was marked as fixed here: https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?topic=7701.msg78110#msg78110

Not sure if this is in the beta or not. ColdfusionStorm can you test his scenario (or anyone else) and see if tyou can reproduce this in Windows 7?
