Re: [pygame] surface.get_flags() and pygame.FULLSCREEN

Your argument is irrelevant to someone with my perspective- it's still a fullscreen display - it just can't grab the screen in exclusive mode when it's not active. In my opinion, you are misunderstanding what the flag means.

You said it does regrab fullscreen, but it just takes a few seconds, is that correct? So is the problem here that you want to be able to tell when it is in the state where it is active but has not yet gotten exclusive mode yet?

Sounds like it doesn't work the way you were hoping, but sounds like it's working perfectly to me. The display is still in fullscreen mode the entire time, it just happened to not be the active display for a while (your described test case wouldn't be any different than alt-tabbing away, In my opinion)
The thing is that pygame (or SDL?) switches the display to windowed mode if it loses focus, and it takes a few seconds for it to regain fullscreen mode (sometimes it doesn't regain it at all, in my experience).

So yes, it does lose focus, but when it regains focus, it's still in a windowed state, and for this the surface should not have flags containing pygame.FULLSCREEN.
