[Xerte] debug(), focus

The debug window has no reflection either, and there are rumours it
knows the stig.

 

Lots of stuff is screen dump free – sometimes windows media
does it as well

Forgive me if this one is already on the bug list.



The debug window seems invisible to screen capture utilities.

Which really amazes me, as I thought screen caps just took info directly from
the video output device.

So if it's on screen....

? :-/
