1.9.8 F11 Bug

[Someone Else]

In all earlier versions of Algodoo that I know of, and probably even Phun, pressing F11 will open the console.
This is how I've always done it.

However, in 1.9.8, pressing F11 will toggle fullscreen. I see no reason for this behavior, as it's really only obnoxious and Ctrl-F will also do it, as will going into the File menu.

This cannot possibly be accidental.

F11 is the standard full screen option for mozilla, maybe that has something to do with it? (maby ie too)

...and that's why you should always use "~"

I believe this is an intended feature.


You can open console with [F10]-key.
The change is confusing me, but time will solve this.

I did say above that it cannot possibly be accidental.

Having to press F10 instead instead of F11 will be confusing, but not nearly as much as ~, due to the sheer spatial locality of the key.

But why? Why the change?

as monsterje3 has said, F11 has become like a standard for entering (and exiting) full screen in most other programs!
so, chances are they have don't this to make it easier for new people to the program.

well, i suppose we will get used to it (eventually)!

[Someone Else]

This does make sense. Strange, yes, but logical.

Indeed - F11 is more or less standard for toggling fullscreen, so I choose to follow the standard. As always when one makes a change like this there will be a need to relearn old habits, but be thankful entering/exiting fullscreen is so much faster in 1.9.x
