    • Start MP in windowed mode
    • go to my video
    • go to an folder or video file
    • press f9 to open the context menu
    • send MP to tray
    • try to restore (will do not success because of the context menu block it) :(

    Can confirm, open context menu for files blocks the message pump.

    The message send by Window to inform MP to restore itself is not processed as the Context Menu of Files (there could be others as well) does not allow MediaPortal to process any other messages while MP is not visible.

    This would also impact other system messages (e.g. suspend/resume) for example.

    Need to investigate where in (probably Dialog Plugin) the blocking of the message pump takes place.

    More or less the same symptom but different cause.

    The problem here is that the actual Message Pump is blocked by the Context Menu when MP is not actively rendering. It's about message from Windows and not related to MP's own message. Also applies to fullscreen as well if you allow a minimization to the tray.

    This bug also effects fullscreen mode:

    Steps to reproduce
    Enable minimize to system tray on exit
    Run MP, open a context menu
    Close MP
    * Can not restore MP *
