Hello all,
I discovered a strange behaviour with IrfanView 4.40 32-bit and I'm not sure if it's a bug, or a feature for which I can't find a setting.
In the past, I have been semi-aware that IrfanView sometimes exits fullscreen mode without me hitting any keyboard or mouse button. Yesterday, this started to happen every few seconds. Back then I didn't have the time to explore it further, but did so today. The automatic exits still happen, but now it's once a minute.
I tested this running IrfanView from different drives, using different mouses, and even on different computers (albeit both running Windows 7 and both having two monitors connected), but the behaviour was the same.
I found that it doesn't matter when I entered fullscreen mode, the automatic exit happens at the same second every minute as long as I don't re-start IrfanView, and IrfanView is the active window. If it's not (that is, IrfanView is fullscreen on one of my screens and I work on the other screen), it will stay fullscreen indefinitely. To be precise, the auto-exit trigger period is more like 59.9 seconds: the second at which it happens slowly gets earlier.
I looked but couldn't find a setting on such an automatic fullscreen exit, nor could I find others reporting the same behaviour in the forum. Can someone reproduce this? Any ideas on how to change the auto-exit period or how to stop the behaviour entirely? (Other than downloading the current version of IrfanView, which I can't do on my work computer.)
