Crashing when screen disconnects

Maybe all these issues are addressed in the upcoming release, but, for the record, I see the same kinds of issues in v3.1.2 on macOS, where OpenLP goes sideways if the screen configuration changes while in presentation mode, and usually requires a force-quit. Best practice is to quit OpenLP before making any screen config changes. Yet another great reason to use a black background for every screen. 😃

@witterholt I've just upgraded to the new release 3.1.3. I retried the original steps at the start of this thread, and as far as I can see it gave the same results as for 3.1.2, namely that the laptop still shows the projected lyrics when HDMI is disconnected. I can confirm there is no hang though so definitely an improvement over 3.1.1, and in this situation it doesn't show the "screen has changed" dialog at all (or maybe it's behind the lyrics) which is also better.

It is easy enough to press Esc to remove the projected lyrics (as long as the laptop operator realises this!), but I think I'd still expect it never to show the projected lyrics on a single screen if "Display if a single screen" is off.

What do you reckon?

Thanks very much

edwiles agreed, I have to admit that I did not focus on the single screen setting while solving this bug and would expect it did not show the presentation screen in any case when the presentation display changed. But a new issue can be made for this. I am glad it does not crash anymore though. Thanks for letting me know.

I experienced the lost connection as well this morning. The dialog is displayed behind the presentation screen once. When ok is clicked or escape is pressed the application continues to work.
When single screen option is disabled the presentation screen should be turned off before the dialog is displayed though. Or even better, this should be always the case to make sure the dialog is always visible...
