Some notes on Lost focus / Temporary Freeze on game exit win7-64

[jimmer]

Thinking of moving from XP-32 to win7-64 for my MAME system.

My current AM setup was AM2.0.0

Moving to win7-64  I have a problem with loss of focus on exit from game. Tried various new versions. Sometimes the problem only happens if I exit the game with 8s of selecting it. Some AM versions give a blank screen, some give a frozen game list.  Note: some users are putting scripts in place to  fix the focus problem.

Thanks to a comment here: https://github.com/mickelson/attract/issues/199  I found that AM2.0.0RC2 works

My results:


On win7-64 desktop, core i3, nvidia GT710, LCD monitor. 
groovymame171 (not using switchres etc).


GOOD:
1.6.2.32
1.6.2.64
2.0.0.rc2.32
2.0.0.rc2.64

FAST EXIT PROBLEM  (exit before 8s in game)
2.0.0.64
2.1.0.32
2.1.0.64

GENERAL EXIT PROBLEM (exit after 10s in game)
2.2.1.64
2.3.0.64


hope that helps someone

This might actually be an answer to what the heck is going on with me in a Linux environment.  Except that it works in some window managers.....
