I'm pretty sure this is a feature rather than a bug... ;)
In most POS environments you don't want employees exiting the
application and fooling around with the system.
Of course, it's probably not hard to turn off that option, perhaps
even in one of the XUI files. Hopefully Jacques or Andy or someone
with more POS experience can chime in on that particular.

Hi,
I am experiencing a big issue using OFBiz Point-Of-Sale application
over Linux (Debian Etch) with Java JDK 1.5.0.x
The problem is that the POS main screen behaves like a modal
blocking window in Linux. Once the main screen is displayed, you
cannot switch to another window of the system with Alt+Tab. What is
worst, when the application tries to display an "Alert
message" (like for example "Product Not Found" when you press SKU)
the alert is actually presented behind the main screen, instead of
on top of it. So, you cannot accept the message and you can neither
do anything with the main screen: the application is blocked. Then
I have to log in with a different TTY and kill the java process.
This behaviour is not reproduced over Windows XP with the same Java
JDK: you can swith to other application with Alt+Tab and alert
messages are properly displayed in top.
I just wanted to ask if anyone has tried POS over Linux and
experienced such a problem. I'm a newbie to OFBiz and maybe I am
doing something wrong. Otherwise, this is a big issue that has to
be put in Jira. BTW, should I put the issue in Jira myself or is it
restricted to developers ?
Please advice,
Daniel.
