Hi. Sometims when switching between fullscreen dosbox and playing the game in non-fullscreen mode, the keyboard stops working.
I can't really tell what I do to get this result, hard to tell, but someone here might have more ideas, and what to do about it?
Anyone?
😳

What else happens when the keyboard stops working? Some sreensavers behave badly, passive popups (like "XYZ has logged on to ICQ"-type messages) can mess with keyboard for a while, and other programs can try to capture the keyboard. Watch your desktop activities closely for anything that happens at the same time.

Gentoo Linux, dosbox 0.6.3 it is.

I'm only playing warlords 2 and wl2delux and I get them in both.

I think it might be related to me clicking in the game with the mouse when the game is not in focus and it's not fullscreened.
I'll try to find a better pattern .
