Mmm... ok... I guess you closed this game by pressing the escape key, right? This might be because in Ratjeprak I'm not resetting the screensize manually, but let the program do it all by itsself. When I have time later I'll concoct a test version of Ratjeprak where I do this manually to see if this makes a change.
Otherwise, it might be that it is JFW might have a problem with resetting the screen resolution in realtime, no matter what the program is. Resetting the screen resolution is a typical thing with video games and usually causes no problems. Then again, having to reset the screen resolution to control an audio game with the mouse is a bit silly and I know other ways of capturing mouse movement without resetting the screen resolution. Thanks, Phil, I'll keep you updated!
