Comment (by antoniou79):
The issue was reproduced consisently on a Huawei (Android 10) tablet
device, too.
It also seems to be triggered when a tooltip is visible (because the mouse
cursor hovers over a control that has a tooltip) in the Grid View; the
other conditions must also be met.
More importantly, I found a way to replicate this issue on a Windows
desktop PC, (so it's not quite Android specific, albeit it is more likely
to get it there)
**The steps to reproduce on Windows PC:**
- Launch ScummVM in windowed mode
- Switch to List view (if not already there)
- Click on the Maximize button of the ScummVM window (still not full
screen) and make sure that ScummVM uses the high resolution display layout
(this should be the case for most modern PCs I think). If it's not on high
resolution layout, use Global Options -> GUI -> GUI Scale dropdown for a
setting that will result in the high resolution layout for ScummVM, while
maximized.
- Click on the Restore button of the ScummVM window.
- Resize the ScummVM window to low(er) dimensions until ScummVM switches
to low resolution display layout.
- Click on Maximize button again (ScummVM should now switch to high
resolution)
- Change to Grid View.
- Move the mouse cursor over a game, click once, and keep the cursor there
(do not move it).
- Use the keyboard key combo Win+Down Arrow, which should trigger the
Restore Window Size function, without having to move the mouse.
The above should trigger the reported issue on ScummVM desktop. On mine, I
get a black screen for ScummVM with only the cursor showing. Maximizing
the window once, keep the screen black. Restoring the window after that
may bring back the normal ScummVM display.
Note: I am not able to trigger the issue on the desktop for the "tooltip
showing in Grid view" case, because when trying the key combo Win+Down
Arrow in the final step above, the tooltip goes away.
