::: Huh? Where and when do we force the user to toggle back to window mode? As I understand it, the console is *never* visible in fullscreen mode, so to see, the user is already now forced to toggle back to window mode manually. So, maybe it is a kludge (it is indeed one, because we force the user to look at something that only devs should ever have to look at) but then it is a kludge that is already now present, isn't it? --[[User:Fingolfin|Fingolfin]] 09:22, 26 October 2010 (UTC) | ::: Huh?

:::: Yes, the users would have to toggle back to window mode either way, if in fullscreen mode. But the point that opening a console option on demand is more risky stands.

::::: No, it does not stand from my point of view. I explained, in particular, that the hotkey for toggling the console could easily be implement in a way that would *not* forcefully exit fullscreen mode. So far I countered every point your raised here in detail, and you have still to reply to that. From my point of view this "con" argument has been effectively refuted. --[[User:Fingolfin|Fingolfin]] 20:55, 26 October 2010 (UTC) | ::::: No, it does not stand from my point of view.

==== The current option is inconsistent, when starting directly (no console), compared to starting via a command prompt (console used, and prompt not returned). The standard behavior of GUI only programs, is to return the prompt straight away, if started by a command prompt. ==== | ==== The current option is inconsistent, when starting directly (no console), compared to starting via a command prompt (console used, and prompt not returned).
