I have a dual monitor setup, with Nvidia 56.72

The situation is as follows, my second monitor is playing a video/DVD in
fullscreen. My first monitor is showing the desktop.

When I click anywhere on the DESKTOP on the first monitor (the problem
doesn't happen when I am not clicking on the desktop, say if I am typing in
word or something), the video on the second monitor exits fullscreen.

Why does it exit fullscreen? Is there anyway to lock fullscreen.

I have tried turning off enable fullscreen mode switch for both DVD and
Video, but this doesn't change anything. Either does turning off the
fullscreen control panel (that appears when moving the mouse towards the
bottom of the video.

Thanks for you time.
