Here's some new info that may help shed some light on this problem.
It really just makes me more confused , but maybe it will help
someone with more liteC experience to diagnose the issue.

Like I said I'm just tinkering around with the script to get a
handle on it, so I just added script to create a new view, switch to it,
and then rotate the view around the center of a block in my level.
Out of curiosity, I changed the variable to be displayed in my panel
to diplay the pan of the view I created. It worked in both fullscreen
and windowed mode. So that's cool, but it still leaves me wondering
the other variable wasn't displayed as being incremented in fullscreen
mode, but was in windowed.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.
