Alt freezing rendering Problem [Windows]

[Mel]

It also happens on Windows XP (at least on mine ). I didn't really see it as a bug but as a "strange windows feature", but it would be nice if this was changed.

Like a sort of built-in pause button, only for windows? yeah

Yes, I do not find the problem on 3941 on Windows 7.

I just tried to reproduce it on Windows 7, but it neither freezes nor do I get the menu with alt+space (which is probably not even ok as Windows-apps should do that).

As your code-example was not complete I couldn't just compile that and test it but had to use the Irrlicht examples instead (tried with example 09). I tested 1.7.2, svn releases/1.7 and trunk. Can you reproduce that with the examples as well? If the examples work but your code doesn't please post a complete example which I can test myself by compiling it.

edit: OK - I can reproduce it. Does not happen when I start from within Visual Studio it seems, but clicking exe directly showed the behaviour (alt+space still does not work). Or maybe it only started once I tested the F10 key as well - could be it worked before. Anyway - it's only in 1.7.2 and svn releases/1.7 - in trunk it seems to be changed. So please wait for 1.8 release or switch to trunk.
