the_mapI was playing bzflag and pressed something while trying to change console tabs, and broke keyboard input entirely17:13
the_mapwhich meant I couldn't very well play, nor exit the game17:13
the_mapmessed up my display settings too, since I have dual monitors17:13
the_mapI had to kill it from a tty17:14
allejo...didn't realize we had that feature17:44
blast007did you happen to hold down ctrl+alt while hitting one of the function keys?17:45

the_mapblast007: only when I had to visit a tty prompt to kill bzflag19:57

blast007the_map: only thing I can think then is that trying to minimize or toggle fullscreen21:41
blast007.. broke something   (hit enter too early)21:42
the_mapeven F12 didn't work21:44
blast007the window may no longer have been focused21:45
blast007when you killed it from a tty, did a normal terminate work, or did you have to kill -9 it?21:46
the_mapnormal21:47
blast007after that, did your graphical interface return to normal?21:47
the_mapbzflag? it was dead. launched fine though21:48
the_mapmy desktop? needed some work21:48
the_mapbzflag does weird things when it launches since I have dual monitors; it disables the screen it's not occupying21:48
blast007work as in resolution or positioning?21:48
the_mapthey were mirrored, so I had to unmirror, reposition, and set the primary monitor to the correct one21:48
blast007ah21:49
blast007are you using Xorg, or Wayland?  which version of BZFlag?  Is it using SDL2?  (It would say -SDL2 in the version string)21:49
the_mapBZFlag client 2.4.18.20200324-MAINT-linux-gnu-SDL (protocol 0221)21:50
the_mapnot sure about xorg vs wayland21:51
the_mapgive me a min to look up how one finds out21:51
the_mapx11, so xord21:52
the_map* xorg21:52
the_map2.4.18 is what my package manager has available21:54
tuponewhat distro ?21:55
the_mapUbuntu 20.0421:56
tuponeI don't know if updating to 2.4.22 works better (ubuntu 22.04)21:59
the_mapI can't replicate, so I guess this bug doesn't exist?22:01
tupone2.4.22 fix some SDL issues22:02
tuponeabout screen management22:03
tuponemaybe if you can update to 22.04 or build from source22:03
the_mapyeah it'd be nice to update, especially for the popping22:04
the_mapI've built from source before, but I'm not sure I want to invest into that unless I was making myself useful for the dev effort22:05
tuponeI think that your bug cannot be reproduced on the new. The screen management is changed22:07
tuponeIIRC22:07
the_mapyeah I can't even reproduce it on the current version so I probably hit some edge case with my system and the game22:08
the_mapthank you and blast for your time!22:09
blast007it's probably just an SDL 1 issue22:15
blast007you could try the snap version which uses SDL222:16
blast007or upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04LTS where the packaged bzflag uses SDL222:21
blast007the snap would still get you a newer version of the game though22:22
the_mapI'll try snap22:23
the_mapI just don't like snap22:23
