Synopsis::

THis one is nasty,

viewing precorded video on secondary monitor,
did a maximize and then a full screen

display reverted to primary monitor (not well behaved)

at which point screen started flickering a menu perhaps

I tried mouse clicks to display monitor and esc key trying to get control of app. then system locks up.

Stop playing media before playing around with maximize & moving to another screen (secondary NOT supported, see other posts).

 

[toddbailey]

regardless of user activity, actions such as this shouldn't cause the appl to crash the os, forcing a reboot. This is a serious bug and needs to be addressed

1 options here,

1. add support for dual monitors on a single video card or dual monitors on separate video cards.

2. incorporate changes that restrict any use of and prevent total system crash if trying to use dual monitors.


my vote is for option 1 (btw: I am using the single video card config)
