Bug 1909

Summary: Wrong window placement and OpenGL clipping if text size > 100%
Product: SDL Reporter: Leander <leanderdev>
Component: videoAssignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Status: RESOLVED ABANDONED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: major    
Priority: P2    
Version: HG 2.0   
Hardware: x86_64   
OS: Windows 7   

Description Leander 2013-06-11 07:25:24 UTC 
Setting the text size in Control Panel to other than 100% (e.g. 150%) causes the SDL window to be off center and the OpenGL draw operations to be clipped as well. Almost like coordinates are scaled by the factor.

Not a new issue, has been like this for years.

I'm using SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED_DISPLAY(0) and SDL_GetWindowPosition/Size return the correct values

Comment 1 Leander 2013-06-11 07:35:21 UTC 
It appears the OpenGL clipping only happens if the window size is large enough.
Maybe when size * scale > resolution?

The wrong window placement always happens.

Hello, and sorry if you're getting dozens of copies of this message by email.

We are closing out bugs that appear to be abandoned in some form. This can happen for lots of reasons: we couldn't reproduce it, conversation faded out, the bug was noted as fixed in a comment but we forgot to mark it resolved, the report is good but the fix is impractical, we fixed it a long time ago without realizing there was an associated report, etc.

Individually, any of these bugs might have a better resolution (such as WONTFIX or WORKSFORME or INVALID) but we've added a new resolution of ABANDONED to make this easily searchable and make it clear that it's not necessarily unreasonable to revive a given bug report.

So if this bug is still a going concern and you feel it should still be open: please feel free to reopen it! But unless you respond, we'd like to consider these bugs closed, as many of them are several years old and overwhelming our ability to prioritize recent issues.

(please note that hundred of bug reports were sorted through here, so we apologize for any human error. Just reopen the bug in that case!)

Thanks,
--ryan.
