I was not aware there was an option to run vDosXy full screen. I had to cap it at a setting of about 75 %, as I think there were some display issues when I tried to exceed that.

The window rotation you're describing is what's happening here, though I haven't been able to find any key combination which reliable reproduces it. I suspect it's an unintended key combination -- a slip of the fingers -- in full screen mode, and involving the alt key, the a cursor key, and who knows what else.
Once it starts, the alt+arrow keys will flip the window accordingly. Most of the time, righting the window correctly with the up arrow and moving out of full screen is enough to fix it, but today I had to force a shut-down and restart.

It may not be Xy3 or Xy4 or vDos issue. Some websites suggest that
ctrl or shift plus alt and an arrow key can rotate the screen in Win
7 and 8. Search on "Keyboard shortcuts to rotate the screen in Win 7
and Win 8."
I have an old vDos (not the version for Xy, haven't tried that out
yet) in my Win 7 setup and Ctrl-Alt-Arrowkey produces the following
results:
Left arrow key: Rotate screen to 90 degrees left from normal (so
that the right side of the normal screen orientation is up)
Right: 90 right from normal (left side of the normal screen is up)
Down: Rotate upside down
Up: Return to normal position
This happens when running vDos fullscreen; haven't tried it out with
windowed vDos. It sounds like you might be getting a version of
this; if so, it might well be an expected a Windows behavior, not a
vDos bug.
I have to include the Ctrl key in the combination to get this
effect, and Shift-Alt-Arrowkey has no effect on my Win 7 machine (a
Dell desktop). You might be invoking the process some other way?

It occurs when I'm
using the numeric pad (numlock off) and the alt key,
although once it starts, I can make the window do flips and
somersaults with the the 2nd set of cursor keys as well.
These are my [custom] keyboard assignments, with alt:
72=NI,CU←
73=NI,PF←
74=NI,SM←
75=NI,PW←
76=NI,NP←
77=NI,NW←
78=NI,SU←
I can't
reproduce it at will, though it's happened a few times
already. If I had to guess, I'd say it's alt+pgup which gets
it going, and which I've mapped to be the "previous page"
function. But can't say for sure.

Re: vDos bug report
How bizarre. I can't reproduce it here with Xy4. I'll try
with Xy3 at
home tonight.
John, what are the Xy keyboard file assignments for the
keys that
cause this weird behavior?
