When the psychopy window is initialized with fullscr=True, the PsyTML window is not drawn to the screen any more and is also not available by switching to the e. g. with - key combination.

The whole application therefore ends in some dead lock, because while psychopy waits for the data of the html form it seems to prevent PsyTML from displaying and capturing the input.

This unfortunately is by design, see https://groups.google.com/d/topic/psychopy-users/QgXiguKgqho/discussion

Therefore the solution is to open a window the same size as the screen which ios not fullscreen with the cost of some performance penalties. The best is to seperate the performance critical and non-critical part. Open a fullscreen for the critical part and close it to open a fullsized (but not fullscreen) for the non-critical part.
