Survex 1.2.8: Aven can't get out of full screen mode

[Graham Mullan]

Have just tried 1.2.8 on this W7 64 bit Home Premium & it works just as well
as Footleg's. F11 toggles fullscreen perfectly. I don't use thre glassy UI
stuff so I don't see the Windows task bar.

I just updated to 1.2.8 to test this on my 64bit Windows 7 Enterprise laptop
at work. I do not see the problem that Rowena is reporting. Pressing
F11 switches to full screen view, and pressing it again switches back to the
windowed view again. The only quirky thing I see is that in full screen view
the Windows task bar still appears on top of the window, even though the
Aven window is covering the entire screen (I can see my model though the
semi-transparent taskbar. Who says the glassy UI features of Windows 7 are
not of any use?!). I see this same task bar z-order issue with 1.2.7 too.
Note that the Therion viewer Loch appears on top of the task bar when I put
that into full screen view.
