-- What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Run Growl
2. Run COD4:MW
3. Get a notification to come up somehow when you are in a game (I happened
to have Songbird song change notifications on)

-- What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Show the Growl notification correctly, or show nothing at all.

-- What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

2.0b15
Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600)

-- Please provide any additional information below.

I know an easy workaround... don't run both at once. But I'd _like_ to, so
I'm just reporting _my_ use case. Another option that might be universal
for people playing different games would be to add an option to Growl to
disable notifications while certain applications are running...

does this happen for a specific display style (ie: Standard, Visor, Smokestack) 
or 
does it happen for all display styles? if it is only one or a few, can you post 
up 
which ones you know it affects? might help me narrow down where to look.

thanks for reporting the bug.

I currently do not have the computer with which I found this issue, so I can not
re-test. I was using the Standard display style.

Thanks YeOldeSteve for adding more info to this bug.

I am working on a solution that will let you tell Growl to automatically pause 
when any fullscreen application is running. It should go out in the 2.0.8 
version.

(Making the notification appear on top of the running game correctly is not 
reliable - many games take full control of the video card to do their rendering 
and it just causes lots of issues.)

The latest version of GfW (v2.0.8 - available here: 
http://www.growlforwindows.com/gfw/default.aspx) contains a new option to 
automatically disable notifications when a full-screen application is running. 
It is on the 'General' tab and is just a checkbox. Notifications that you 
receive while a full-screen app is running will be logged to the history, and 
when you exit the full-screen app, you will get a summary of any notifications 
you missed.
