lsnes bugs / undesired features report

Version: lsnes-rr2-beta22b1
Binary from: http://www.elisanet.fi/ilari_l/lsnes-rr2-beta22b1.7z
System: Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

BUGS:

Configure > Enter Fullscreen Mode:
It makes the current video screen appear in the top-left part the Windows screen.
After that, it's impossible to access any menu or to recover the normal mode. If a Lua script increases the dimensions of the video (e.g., via gui.top_gap()), then the video decreases its size (very much).

New > Movie:
Attempt to create a, anchored movie from a given lsmv state will always fail. A warning window will print "Can't load movie/savestate corrupt". The message window will print "Can't load movie/savestate '$MEMORY:wxwidgets-romload-tmp': Savestate corrupt". And the screen will turn blue, with the message "SYSTEM STATE CORRUPT".
However, it works if the savestate member (from the savestate file) is extracted and selected.

advance-skiplag:
This command doesn't differ at all from frame advance. No lag is checked.

+tangent:
If I hold its binding button, nothing seems to happen. The same if I use the message window and type the command.

MINOR ANNOYANCES:

gui.text:
While it lacks an outline color, it can be forced to work by gui.text = gui.font.load(nil)

Fonts:
The origin of gui.text is the top-left area of the game. But the origin of the FONT = gui.font.load(some_font) is the top-left of the screen (gaps/borders included).

movie.get_frame:
It starts in subframe = 0 and ends in subframe = size - 1. That's quite inconvenient. I sometimes create:
local function new_movie_get_frame(...)
    local inputmovie, subframe = ...
    if subframe == nil then
        return movie.get_frame(inputmovie - 1)
    else
        return movie.get_frame(inputmovie, subframe - 1)
    end
end

movie.currentframe:
Doesn't always report the true current frame. I made this hack, where not_synth is the parameter from on_paint function:
Lsnes_frame_error = (not_synth and 1 or 0)
Currentframe = movie.currentframe() + Lsnes_frame_error + (movie.currentframe() == 0 and 1 or 0)
