Hi again,

I've been concentating on one particular bug in my program.
I studied ex_native_dialog quite hard and used some code from it to make a dialog for opening files.
The console output for this code is

Calling pGUIModes[current_mode](GetMenuID(current_mode), IOVariables, GUIData) with current_mode equal to 7
current_mode = 7
GetMenuID(current_mode) = -1
In load image. IO->queue is not NULL.
In load image. About to go into while loop.
Waiting for event.
Got event.
event type was mouse event.
Waiting for event.
Got event.
event type is 46
ASYNC_DIALOG_EVENT1 is 1699628593
Waiting for event.

C:\code_projects\art_program_2_debug>

event type 46 is ALLEGRO_EVENT_DISPLAY_SWITCH_OUT.
After the last 'waiting for event', the program quits and I get the command prompt again. Any ideas what could be causing an ALLEGRO_EVENT_DISPLAY_SWITCH_OUT to be triggered? I don't know Allegro 5 well enough to know how to fix the problem. Need some help please :-*.
