--- Comment #3 from Robert Schuster thebohemian@gmx.net 2008-05-15 04:50:11 --- While investigating the problem I found out that the issue is a bit different than first assumed. It is *not* that the keyboard input does not work but that the game window does not get the focus automatically.
E.g. I start the game, it enters full-screen mode etc and if I press any key the game does not react. If I explicitly move focus to the game window (e.g. by using alt-tab) key presses and everything work nicely.
I'll look if I find a demo where this problem also happens.
