Title: Popup in full screen mode after pressing space bar to pause or resume
Post by: audunth on March 21, 2013, 03:51:04 pm: Hi,

For the last 20 or 30 builds or so, I've had the problem that when I use the space bar to pause or resume, the same popup that shows when hovering the mouse over the play/pause button appears on the screen where the mouse pointer is located. Moving the mouse gets rid of it, or waiting about 30 seconds or so.

Really annoying. If using MadVR Exclusive this forces the video into Windowed mode until the popup disappears.

Anyone have any idea how to solve this? Or is it just a bug that needs a fix?

I agree that it's very annoying.

I imagine there's people that want their Windows tooltips turned on, if using the computer for other things besides MC.

Post by: audunth on March 24, 2013, 05:01:49 am: Well, it didn't work....I just restarted my computer, and the annoying popup is back. I go into Folder Options in Explorer again and enable and disable the tooltips again, and the popup is gone. EDIT: Popup not gone after all. So the workaround only worked once, computer restart broke it again.

So this is a serious bug...please have a look at it, developers! :)

I have exactly the same problem. I mentioned it a while back, but JRiver's reply was that they couldn't reproduce it. I do hope they fix it.

That's surprising, it happens every time here.

Post by: audunth on March 25, 2013, 08:28:35 pm: On my system it seems to come and go as it pleases. It's been like this for some time. I can't reproduce it at will either, I just have to wait till it reproduces itself from time to time. So I can see how it's hard to fix it...
