Description rayne 2011-03-01 12:36:46 UTC 
I position an SDL application at the top left corner of the screen, switch to fullscreen and back to windowed mode (with old dimensions), and my window is weirdly maximized.

This happens only when the program is at top-left, and nowhere else.

test case

An example case.
It starts at top-left by default on my desktop, hitting F key twice demonstrates the problem.

Thank you for your bug report!

We're busy working on getting SDL 1.3 ready for a high quality release, and want to make sure as many things are fixed there as possible.
Could you check to see if your bug is resolved by the latest SDL 1.3 snapshot?

Thanks!

Hi there!

Sorry about the delay. I confirmed that the unwanted maximize is gone in v1.3. However, the window still goes back to top-left corner, forgetting it's previous position.

This should not be marked as WAITING because the question was answered years ago.
Comment 5 Sam Lantinga 2014-06-22 18:12:29 UTC 
The unwanted maximize is taken care of.
