System:
Win 7 Prof, SP1, 4GB Ram, AMD Athlon II X4 635 2.9 Ghz 64 Bit display
Geforce GTX 650 TI BOOST 340.52 driver

I have been running 12.2 for years on XP and always had issues with newer XBMC versions.
Now i installed a new PC with Win 7, but it still seems to work better with 12.2 than
Kodi, eg: right now i've 12.2 and Kodi installed on the system, but i also tested 13.2:
Problem:
'/' key is not working well in Kodi (14.0) (and 13.2). Was working much better/perfect in 12.2.
Eplanation:
advancedsetting has fullscreen true and Kodi is autostarted (by eventghost).
With my old stable XBMC 12.2 this works great. with 13.2 and Kodi, i can not toggle fullscreen
and window mode via the '\' key anymore.
Logfile shows:
Start Kodi. Comes up fullscreen. '\' does no work.
GO to System -> System -> Video output.
Display Mode shows "Windowed".
When i change Display Mode to fullscreen, '\' works again, toggles betwwn fullscreen and small window.
Beyond what is in the logfile:
when i quit Kodi in fullscreen after i had fixed Display Mode to fullscreen, it will remember
fullscreen mode and show fullscreen after starting it again. And then '/' does of course work.
When i quit Kodi while being in window mode, it will come up again with the problem that '\' does not work.
Setting "Use fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen" does not change anything in the problem.
12.2 did not have this problem. However i quit it, when i start it, it comes up fullscreen.
In fact, when i quit it while XBMC is in a (not fullscreen) window, and then i restart it,
it will show Display Mode as windowed - just like Kodi, BUT the '\' key works and switches over
to Fullscreen.
I think sometime after 12.2 some code around '\' was broken:
even when mode is "window", '\' should continue to toggle fullscreen and non-fullscreen.
without this, XBMC/Kodi makes really a bad media center PC app.
Btw: I have not been able to try kodi on a non-windows OS, so this might be windows specific.
