I am relieved to hear that this anomaly in the flow of execution is just 
that -- an anomaly, and that the requestFullscreen seems to be the 
culprit. Well, since I need it, I have to just avoid its effects until I 
find something better.

BTW, after working in Firefox and checking the code with JSlint, I've 
started checking the exercises on Chrome and IE that I happen to have 
here, and unfortunately I've found some issue there. First in Chrome, 
for which I am mostly interested next, in exercise 4

http:/;emf.neocities.org/ix/ix4.html

when it gets in full screen the letters are not projected at the bottom 
  of the screen, unless you exit full screen mode. This happens only in 
this exercise, and not in #5 that also projects letters, and also not in 
Firefox. What's causing this?
