Germany
I am on 1.3.0 RC, upgraded from former 1.2.3. This happened before, so it's nothing new to 1.3.0.
Initial setup to reproduce
I have three monitors attached to the PC. Two are standard LCD screens 1&3 (DVI and DisplayPort connected) and one is a plasma TV 2 (via HDMI). #3 is not important in the situation mentioned below
They are hooked up to an AMD Radeon 7870, current drivers. To watch TV/a movie I power on the TV (2) and switch off both other displays 1&3 via their power button (both Dell).
When I'm done watching TV, I switch on both LCDs 1&3 whilst leaving on the TV (2).
The issue
Now, for one second, the desktop from screen 1 (the main screen with taskbar) gets displayed on the TV (2). Then, everything is back to normal, except Mediaportal got switched from the TV (2) to the main monitor (1; in full screen) and cannot be controlled anymore. If a movie was played, MP goes black, the sound still plays for a bit. Sometimes it also stops and goes back to the movie details in MovingPictures. I can still tab out and use Windows. Force close works.
Additional notes
The switchover from TV 2 to main screen 1 also occurs with any other application (tested with MS Word in full screen mode), but MP shouldn't freeze or stop playback. Is this a driver issue? How can I avoid this?

note: the attached log is open/run TV/close of Mediaportal with the aforementioned power toggles of the displays while Mediaportal is running. TV stopped and returned to the TV menu/view without freezing. I still could exit normally.
All this time, all monitors show their respective wallpapers, no screen goes fully blank.Additional notes
