Fullscreen issue

Hey guys.

I've been trying out the new TGEA 1.8 release and it has an interesting issue. The times that the game goes full-screen from windowed mode, there is a pink border on the right and bottom sides of the screen.

A video to illustrate:


Also, something you can't see from this video: When this is actually happening on the screen, the mouse appears to be BELOW where you click. So, in the video, where my mouse was hovering over the cancel button, my actual mouse (where I see it) is actually below the cancel button.

Now a couple of things to help diagnose and fix the issue: Like I said, the times the game goes full-screen is when this happens. E.g. If the game is windowed, and I tell it to go full-screen, the issue happens. If I change the resolution in order for it to redo the screen, then the issue resolves itself. Also, subsequent full-screen resizings do not cause this effect.

Also, if I begin the game in full-screen mode, the issue still occurs. Again, resizing the screen in the options to make it recreate the full-screen will fix the issue.

As a clarification, if I start the game in full-screen (the issue exists), then go to window mode, then go back to full-screen, the issue exists again. It happens every time the game goes from window mode to full-screen (as well as beginning in full-screen mode)

you should also remove WS_SYSMENU as it's not necessary
