I'm running Ubuntu Linux 16.04, kernel version 4.4.0-62-generic, 64 bit.
Minecraft 1.11.2.
I can start the game in full-screen reliably.
If I leave the window for any reason, when I come back the window is either minimized or all black. Once I'm in this mode it's tricky to get back to the normal game display. (I can do Alt-tab to return to the game. I can also use the command line to kill the process and restart it.)
Steps to reproduce:
1. command line: java -cp ./Minecraft.jar net.minecraft.bootstrap.Bootstrap
2. Wait for game to load. (The screen with options for single player, multiplayer, realms, etc. Or playing the single-player game.)
3. Leave the window or minimize it. Examples: (a) switch to another window in the window manager, then return to this window. (b) use media keys to change volume, which is MC-69793. (c) use my laptop's keyboard controls to change display brightness.
The common thread seems to be that I'm either switching away from the window or overlaying something on top of the current window, which means Minecraft no longer has exclusive control of the display.
Note: the sound is unaffected and continues normally.
IMHO this issue should be reopened and MC-69793 should be marked as a duplicate of this one. Thanks for reading my report and please fix the bug!
I'm having the same problem.
Minecraft 1.11.2
Ubuntu Linux 16.04, kernel version 4.4.0-62-generic, 64 bit.
I put a longer description in MC-55045.
IMHO this bug is a subset of MC-55045.
