When DOS prog changes the resolution, full-screen mode of dosemu is not properly adjusted.
This is not happening always.

    I actually think we should start using
    xrandr for fullscreen, instead of changing
    resolution with xf86vm. But this is not
    quite trivial.

    Why don't you just maximize the dosemu
    window and stick it to foreground?
    IMHO a good full-screen emulation for
    the short terms.

    That's what I am doing at the moment. I am using maximus to autostart dosemu maximized. I guess I could use wmctrl to do both.

    Should now work.

    Much better now! Switching works without any problems now.
    But right after startup I have to switch one time to get it to work (1). And now something else is buggy, the menue of an other program is drawn somewhere else (2). Or for example try to open some file in edit (3).

    OK, I'll fix (1).
    Not sure about others.

    I just double checked it and it starts appearing in [fbc7f4] (latest devel).
    In the attached picture I wanted to type exitemu but only "exi" appeared (but I can close dosemu by pressing enter and see the full text in windowed).

    I can't reproduce anything, but please
    try the attached patch.

    That fixed both errors, thanks! I did some tests and couldn't find any problems but I'll keep on monitoring.
    In addition to that it now resizes proberly in VMware.

    I am afraid someone will request to revert
    that patch.
    But for now lets just apply it and see.

    Hm I just git pulled and now I can't reproduce again... I'll monitor it.

    I think this have something to do with
    the full-screen switching as well.
    Maybe the text renderer went out of sync
    with the window size switching.
    So to reproduce this I suppose you'll
    need to do some full-screen switching.
