Tried playing Samourai vs Zombies in window mode, and the only thing that will show on screen is "Game Paused", even if it is the active window
I think that game displays a pause indicator if the height is not exactly equal to the screen height. This would therefore be an app limitation and for the app developer to fix.
so you think all other apps should be aware of modern mix, and be coded to work with it, rather than the other way around?, if the game only works when it thinks its in fullscreen, then tell modern mix should find a way to tell it its in full screen...
If the game developer did something totally non standard to decide it is paused then unfortunately that's an app issue. I suspect it is linked to their code to detect if a window is docked at the side of the screen (probably checking the window size against screen size and making sure it is at least 75% width and 100% height) vs using the actual OS notifications for the app state. If that is the case then the same app will probably also be paused when in the upcoming blue update 50/50 split mode.
If we told the app it was bigger then it would probably introduce other issues like being sized too large for the window.
Ultimately no matter what you do there will always be an app out there that doesn't behave like every other app and working around it for that app may well simply break other apps which did the right thing.
it wouldn't break other apps, if the 'fix' only ran when the user told it to.., although this app may be using a 'non-standard' way of detecting if its not in full screen. it doesn't sound like an extremely out of the box way of doing it.. and several programs are likely to share this same method...
and actually it doesn't work in 2/3 mode either i tested that 
, for this particular app its not a big deal, as i like to play games fullscreen anyways , and i didn't really like it much , just hopin no other apps have this 'bug' when used with MMix
