The longest journey: black screen when alt+enter

[legluondunet]

Hello,
I just tested "The longest journey" (GOG) in latest ScummVM version (git compiled 11 april 2021).
When you press alt+enter to enter fulsscreen or windw mode, the game is all black, you can hear audio. There is no way to obtain game screen again, you have to quit game.

Terminal log:

I forgot to give you this information: "Jewels of the Oracle" is the french version.

Same problem with different hardware, in this case an AMD GPU.

I have the same issue on macOS with a mac M1. I would hazard a guess that this is probably a general issue and not one specific to some hardware or OS.

The problem is changing the window size because the problem also happens if you start in full screen and try to change to window.

[antoniou79]

I can confirm I can reproduce this on a recent build from master.
Setting "OpenGL" as the Game 3D Renderer from edit game, results in permanent black screen, when toggling between fullscreen and windowed. It's "permanent" as in, the image does not come back if you return to your original setting (whether fullscreen or windowed).

Also, setting "OpenGL with shaders" as Game 3D Renderer results in segmentation fault (the game crashes), when attempting to toggle between fullscreen and windowed.

Reproduced on 2021-09-22 build for Windows x64. The black screen also happens when starting in full screen and pressing alt+enter to go to windowed mode.
