Bug 2201

Summary: Calls to SDL_PollEvent cause SDL2 window to "raise" itself in xfce
Product: SDL Reporter: vehday
Component: eventsAssignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2    
Version: HG 2.1   
Hardware: x86_64   
OS: Linux   

Description vehday 2013-10-31 19:18:33 UTC 
This causes any SDL2 app which uses SDL_PollEvent to prevent users from switching workspaces.

Observed on Linux Mint 15 xfce edition, using xfce version 4.10 and SDL version 2.0.1. All WM/Xorg configuration is default Linux Mint 15.

A video demonstrating the behavior: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWSnx3Pk1K0

To reproduce simply run any SDL2 program which calls SDL_PollEvent.

void
SDL_OnWindowRestored(SDL_Window * window)
{
    /*
     * FIXME: Is this fine to just remove this, or should it be preserved just
     * for the fullscreen case? In principle it seems like just hiding/showing
     * windows shouldn't affect the stacking order; maybe the right fix is to
     * re-decouple OnWindowShown and OnWindowRestored.

    /*SDL_RaiseWindow(window);*/
