complete hang if windows locks desktop due to inactivity

Submitted by jeremy on Fri, 2006-11-10 21:15.
Project:Space Empires V
Version:1.13
Component:Code
Category:bug
Priority:minor
Assigned:Unassigned
Status:active

Description

on my thinkpad t43p, if the system locks the desktop (such that a login is required to access it again), se5 presents me with a plain gray screen, and the message "cannot draw canvas."

I must ctrl-alt-del to kill the game and restart

this occurs whether in full-screen or in windowed mode, and also when I close the lid on the laptop to put it into standby mode.

This is still an issue as of 1.35. If you lock the computer, SE5 reports "Exception: Canvas cannot accept drawing".
