Hello,
This is a problem that exists quite a long time now:
When starting a fullscreen app that takes control of the screen and hips is on hips will ask about granting the permission to the app. However the app will block the screen input so the screen will be black and you cannot answer the request and essentially the os is dead since it cannot be minimized.
My suggestion is to solve it with some kind of layer that will make sure the os never gets blocked by an app.
A. THE BUG/ISSUE (Varies from issue to issue)
Can you reproduce the problem & if so how reliably?:
Quote from maftul: This issue has existed in every version of Comodo since v6.0 (I am 100% positive v5 was fine) and can be very easily reproduced by launching full screen games. In such cases, certain alerts do manage to get on top of the game screen, allowing the user to answer them and continue, but alerts related to “interprocess memory access” fail to do so and appear under the full-screen game, resulting in a hard lock since neither the game can be minimized/closed to reply to the alert, nor the alert will ever unlock the game, and the only solution in this case is to do a hard reboot.
I have specifically made a ruleset for games with “interprocess memory access” set to allow, which I apply to game executables before launching them for the first time, to avoid this issue.
