RTC crash when changing task

Sometimes I use <Alt + Tab> to switch to the encyclopaedias maps, and usually that isn't a problem, but if I do so after the parties death during the screen offering a reload RTC crashes that bad, that it even crashes the task manager when I try ti use it to end the RTC task.

Hmm - I can reproduce this, but it's failing in DirectDrawSurface->Restore(); (i.e DirectX is failing to restore the fullscreen window, rather than it being an explicit problem in the RTC code). I'll have a look to see if this can be worked around (and in general better support for windowing), but for now, don't do that :wink:

In my defence, doing anything but playing in fullscreen isn't supported so I've moved this to be a suggestion rather than a bug, but I agree it could be better!

As mentioned in a different thread: I never used anything else than full screen. Of course this is not a big problem, of course I just don't do it anymore for now, yet it is a bug and thus I reported it, although I can of course live with that bug.
