application flickers endlessly

[lduperval]

Hi,

 

I've seen this in the past but never asked: Why does  EOF start flickering all of a sudden? I'll be working and all of a sudden it's as if every tab gets the focus quickly. So it,s as if it's witching from easy to medium to hard to expert.... and starts over. The net result is that I usually have to restart the app. Has anyone else seen this, and if so, what am I doing that causes this?

 

Thanks,

From my experience this is an occasional bug with Allegro, especially when using ALT+Tab. If it detects Tab being pressed before ALT, it will think the Tab key is stuck and then it cycles through the difficulty tabs in EOF. Try hitting Escape or using ALT+Tab or using the mouse to take EOF out of the foreground and then bring it back to foreground.

OK, thanks for the clarification. Should be much faster than closing and relaunching.
