BUG: sys_disablewinkeys doesn't always disable the windows key; (also, a windows resolution issue when alt-tabbing) about ezquake-source HOT 4 CLOSED

Are you still experiencing this?

from ezquake-source.

I don't have access to my QW computer right now, but when I last checked a few months ago it was still an issue.

@snedpics - I've been trying to reproduce this but am struggling. During these extended sessions, would anything else be running in the background that might also try to trap/detect windows keys being pressed? Another game perhaps?

What we could do is add a flag so that when this did happen, you could enable debugging and send us the results? Either ezQuake is not receiving the hook messages (this is my suspicion) or it is but not blocking it for some reason.

Sorry this isn't very helpful, just I'm unable to replicate it in order to fix it :(

It might be a few weeks until I have access to my setup again, but I'd be happy to help when I am able. I have no knowledge of programming, however, so you'd need to walk me through the process of enabling debugging and reporting the results.

I certainly suspected another program or background process might have been causing the issue, but I had no luck identifying which one (or even if that was really the case). I tried common sense fixes like closing all programs, but nothing short of restarting the client helped. Actually, restarting the client always fixed it (at least for a while), IIRC.

As far as the second issue goes (unwanted desktop resolution changes upon alt-tabbing), I no longer have the CRT, so it's doubtful I'd be able to help with that.
