if a fullscreen renderer looses signal, v4 gets into a bugged/locked state where it is blinking in and out of focus and from where only a forced quit works.
since at least two years of betas.
i.e. happens in the following setup :
hd laptop screen is secondary display, running fullscreen
wqhd monitor is primary display, used for patching and windowed preview
alt+enter the windowed preview to fullscreen, all good
alt+enter it back to windowed, and
- v4 starts to blink in and out of selection
- v4 doesn’t minimize
- any new window i manage to open in the short intervals between the described blinkings gets thrown in the back
- menu not working
- tty doesnt know about this
- single thing i can do is doubleclick and patch a Doquit node and restart v4
this has happened since a specific version about 2 years ago, but i can’t remember the number
if no one has encountered this (i did lots of times, on many systems, esp at signal loss), i will start to remove parts of my patch to see when its working again but its really unintuitive
