IE9 fullscreen & Emulate Keystroke {ESC}

Post by ZappoB »

I run into a strange problem with emulate keystroke and IE9 (Win7) in fullscreen mode:

I'm trying to control youtube.com/leanback with my MCE IR over EG, which seems to be not the complexest thing: up, down, left, right, enter and escape. Everthing works perfect, until I start IE in fullscreen mode (either F11, or directly with -k), then neither emulate keystroke {ESC} nor {BACKSPACE} works, also if I use the alternate method. Cursor-keys and enter are working flawless.

The normal keyboard does its thing as usual, so it has to be a problem with the keyboard emulation.

Any ideas for a workaround?

A workaround might be to try another browser and see if the problem persists.

I tried Google Chrome, but the problem persists...

I'm really confused, because this only happens in fullscreen or kiosk mode - in a normal windows both keys work flawless.

What is the specialty about this two keys?

Now as there seems to be no solution, can somebody at least confirm this problem? Not that this is a unique problem on my system...
