1.1.0 Freeze: full-screen, off focus, EOF

Postby bjoernp » 10 Jul 2010 07:29

Hi,
since 1.1.0 vlc crashes under these conditions:
full-screen Mode,
vlc app has no focus (like when viewing on second monitor or focus switched to another app by other circumstances)

...right when the video ends (playing avi-files from harddisk).

The app does not crash but freezes silently (no cpu consumption).
The window switches from full-screen to a thin window-frame, covering the screen-area.
vlc does not respond to close-action immediately (kill from process-explorer does it, task-manager only after repeated close).

Another change from the previous version: When moving the app-window to another monitor, the video-screen goes black. This used to be the case for a long time, but had been fixed some months earlier. But... ignore that one, it's probably not related.

vlc 1.1.0
Win XP
HP NC6320, Intel 945 Graphics

greetz,
Bjoern

I also have the same problem. Interestingly, if you hit f11 before hitting f to go fullscreen, you don't have the problem. An effective and somewhat annoying workaround.
