This is caused by the OpenGL driver forcing exclusive fullscreen to be used when the application is focussed. Some OpenGL drivers (NVIDIA, AMD) can be configured to use a "DXGI swapchain" which fixes this issue, but I am working on a better solution in https://github.com/comp500/BorderlessMining/issues/19 (currently only works on NVIDIA).

Original issue text
  • Found on Windows Intel/NVIDIA hybrid graphics, using the internal screen and Intel graphics.
  • Only occurs in Borderless Fullscreen, reason is unknown.
  • Solution: Switch to NVIDIA graphics, or use windowed / exclusive fullscreen, or move to an external screen (however this is slower).

If you have any information on this issue could be fixed, or have reproduced it, please comment!

I have the same problem on integrated AMD graphics (Ryzen 3 3200G with Vega 8) running at 1440p.

Went and bought a proper card... also happens on a Radeon RX 570.

Hmm, it might be a bigger issue with GLFW or LWJGL itself, rather than specific drivers. I'll have another look when I have time.

This definitely isn't a hybrid graphics or Intel issue, but I do think an Intel driver bug causes it in certain situations.
