If I run this code:

Everything works as expected.
However, if I change the full screen mode to true and run the code, AppGameKit freezes up.


The reason I've put a question mark in the title is because it is possible that the failure is caused not by AppGameKit but by the combination of AppGameKit and "Desktops". I'm running "Desktops" to give myself virtual desktops and when I run the code above in full screen mode I can get around the the freezing up by switching to another desktop and back.
I won't know if this is truly a bug unless somebody else tries it that isn't using virtual desktops.

No freeze here. Using Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit.
(Except when pressing space in full screen mode. Then I have to alt-tab to get to the file selection)

But regardless of full screen or not, I have to press space twice after the first file dialogue window to get back to it. I found that a bit odd.
Apologies for any typos and strange grammar.

OK, I'm confirming that this is definitely a bug!
I've just tried it on my iMac using Bootcamp - it doesn't have virtual desktops installed and not only did it freeze up in full screen mode but I can't Alt+Tab out of it and even Task Manager wouldn't come to the front. So I had no option but do a hard reboot!

Don't try the full screen code unless you have saved everything and you're willing to reboot your PC.

I just tested on windows 10 and the program doesn't freeze up on me. I was able to alt-tab. What I noticed is that in full screen which might feel like a freeze is that the browser doesn't popup above the full screen. I had to actually alt-tab all the way back to the AppGameKit app to get it to appear. But nothing was freezing up on my system. Though it may be a bug because the file window doesn't show over the full screen app without alt-tabing through everything and back to the AppGameKit Window. Don't know if that's a windows thing or AGK's fullscreen code not giving focus to the file selector window.

Fixed for the next version. I tried to get the file dialog to appear above the fullscreen app but didn't have any success, so the app will minimise whilst the dialog is active and then restore the window afterwards.
