Frozen Bubble switches from full screen to window mode when sceensaver is switched on

[Johannes Langlotz]

Frozen Bubble switches from full screen to window mode when sceensaver is switched on. Probable this also happens with other full screen apllications.

It also happens for no apparent reason in Gutsy Gibbon (7.10) even if the screensaver isn't activated.

I can confirm Gordon's comment. My graphics card details are:

OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 7900 GT/GTO/PCI/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 2.1.1 NVIDIA 100.14.19

Frozen Bubble switches to windowed mode after 5 to 20 minutes of play, losing keyboard focus (must click into the window to control the game again. It usually switches back to fullscreen after 1 oder 2 minutes.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. I have not experienced this problem myself. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

After a short test with Hardy it no longer seems to be an issue for me.

Same bug happens on my system with Hardy and ATI proprietary drivers, so it's apparently not fixed in all situations.

[tzanig (davide-tzanig)]

NB it happens only if screensaver is active, otherwise no problem at all.

Thanks for the info. Does this happen with other sdl applications/games, or just with frozen-bubble?

I can confirm this happens also with Battle for Wesnoth and FloboPuyo (fglrx + compiz enabled). I did not try to run games with compiz disabled yet (maybe it is compiz relates issue).

[Evžen Šubrt (evzen-subrt)]

Almost surely it is a compiz related issue. I have disabled the desktop effect off and the unprompted swithching of "games" to windowed and back to the fullscreen does not occur any more (i have again tried flobopuyo and wesnoth).

Therefore I realy doubt that it is related to the screensaver

Changing to affects compiz due to the above comments. Thanks for your help in pinpointing the issue.
