I have a strange (but reproducible) effect:

After I activate fullscreen mode in a web site using flash I cannot work any longer with Photoshop CS3 under vista ultimate 32 (same under vista ultimate 64).

In PS always the hand pointer is shown, and trying to select any other tool (like text or mask) does not work. Not even a restart of PS fixes the problem. A reboot is needed!

Very annoying!

Anyone having the same problem? I could provide a link to a web page with a flash application supporting fullscreen mode for tests if found helpful.

Any ideas how to fix this, for a work around how to avoid this (besides not using fullscreen ;-)??

Thanks

Hans

Does the tool really not change (big problem), or does the cursor just not change (minor thing, probably related to your video card driver)?

It is a real (and though big 😉 problem. I wouldn’t care about the shape of the cursor, but I e.g. cannot select text any more because I cannot pick the text tool.
What I realized is that if I have a selection window open (e.g. to select the save folder), the effect does not happen.
Found out by chance and did not really test yet, but if so, this at least could somehow help if I think about it in advance (before using fullscreen).
