Can't quit xlaby

[Ari Torhamo]

Hello,

I just found a problem with a game named xlaby, which can be found in
the universe repository. I don't know where to report a bug, as I found
no homepage for the game. I also remember reading on this list, that
sending a bug report to the package maintainer isn't always a good idea.

The problem I found is that quitting the game doesn't seem to work. The
manual says that the keys "Esc" and "q" can be used for this, but at
least for me they don't work. What makes this a problem worth noting is
the fact that the game "traps your mouse cursor in one of the mazes
generated by "maze", you must move around until you collect all four
objects". It means that after starting the game the only way for you to
be able to do anything else with your computer than play the game is
either finnish the game or reboot (or if you are knowledgeable enough,
do Ctrl + Alt + F1, or something). You can just move around in the maze
with your mouse, but not go outside it. So there's no way to use the
mouse to close the game.

There are two other key commands provided in the game info, namely "Tab"
and "z". These should suspend the game, but they don't work for me
either. The keyboard isn't completely unfunctional during the game
though, because I can do Ctrl + Alt + F1, etc.

Newbies trying new games may very well stumble on this and get a bad
experience - supposing I'm not the only one having the problem. Is
anyone else experiencing the same?

If this indeed is a bug, I'd like to know where to report it.

Regards,

Ari
