Bug 1437

Summary: SDL_SetVideoMode sometimes does not change allowed mouse coordinates

Description Mark Boyd 2012-03-01 12:20:29 UTC 
Mouse does not work properly after 2 calls to SDL_SetVideoMode.

I'm attaching a program which shows the problem (about 9 times out of 10 for me)
Move the mouse around inside the SDL window.  The window is 640x400 as it should be but the mouse coordinates never go past (319,199).  It looks like SDL_GetMouseState still thinks the window is 320x200.

If I uncomment the 1-second delay, the problem goes away.

Hello, and sorry if you're getting several copies of this message by email, since we are closing many bugs at once here.

We have decided to mark all SDL 1.2-related bugs as RESOLVED ENDOFLIFE, as we don't intend to work on SDL 1.2 any further, but didn't want to mark a large quantity of bugs as RESOLVED WONTFIX, to clearly show what was left unattended to and make it easily searchable.

Our current focus is on SDL 2.0.

If you are still having problems with an ENDOFLIFE bug, your absolute best option is to move your program to SDL2, as it will likely fix the problem by default, and give you access to modern platforms and tons of super-cool new features.

Failing that, we _will_ accept small patches to fix these issues, and put them in revision control, although we do not intend to do any further official 1.2 releases.

Failing that, please feel free to contact me directly by email (icculus@icculus.org) and we'll try to find some way to help you out of your situation.

Thank you,
--ryan.
