Bug 2772

Summary: SDL2 doesn't handle X KeymapNotify events
Product: SDL Reporter: Jason Wyatt <jwyatt>
Component: videoAssignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2 CC: icculus
Version: HG 2.0Keywords: target-2.0.4
Hardware: All   
OS: Linux   

Description Jason Wyatt 2014-10-31 09:50:14 UTC 
Currently the keymapnotify event handling is commented out as FIXME in SDL_x11events.c (It looks like this may have functioned SDL1.2).

Not handling this event means that if a window manager shortcut such as ALT+SPACE is used, SDL will send an ALT key down signal, but not an up signal. Also querying SDL about the key state, it believes the ALT key remains pressed.
X passes the events keypress (alt), ?focusout?, ?focusin?, keymapnotify.

Sam, any idea if this is something we can get into 2.0.4? I have no idea how much work is involved in this one.

(sorry if you get a lot of copies of this email, I'm marking several bugs at once)

Marking bugs for the (mostly) final 2.0.4 TODO list. This means we're hoping to resolve this bug before 2.0.4 ships if possible. In a perfect world, the open bug count with the target-2.0.4 keyword is zero when we ship.

(Note that closing a bug report as WONTFIX, INVALID or WORKSFORME might still happen.)
