==== Weird displays during fullscreen initialization. ==== | |||
If the --enable-fullscreen command-line option is used, | |||
the window is enlarged to full-screen size at a time | |||
when initialization is only half-complete. From this | |||
time until the end of initialization, the display | |||
contains weird combinations of leftover graphic objects | |||
and other junk. | |||
This is observed no matter whether the splash-screen feature | |||
is enabled or disabled. | |||
==== Fullscreen window sometimes misplaced. ==== | |||
About 20% of the time, when the --enable-fullscreen command-line | |||
option is used, it opens a window of the correct size, but | |||
badly misplaced relative to the screen, such that only one half | |||
or one quarter of the window is on-screen. | |||
