Bug 4872

Summary: SDL_PollEvent
Product: SDL Reporter: Joe <noetimx>
Component: *don't know*Assignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: WAITING --- QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2    
Version: 2.0.10   
Hardware: x86   
OS: Windows 10   

Description Joe 2019-11-23 09:49:33 UTC 
I was able to find out the SDL_PollEvent function was causing my window to be unresponsive/freeze. When i comment it out it works fine, but when i declare it it causes my window to freeze. I'm not sure if it's the functions fault or if something in my code is causing it to act the way it is.

Can you provide the pastebin with info from the stack overflow post?

Comment on the StackOverflow post from the OP:

"No, no extra/special hardware.I tested lazy foo's tutorial and it froze as well. At this point it most likely is a problem with vs itself. I appreciate the help!"

I don't know what the issue was, but this doesn't sound like our bug. Should we close?

Comment 6 Sam Lantinga 2019-12-04 22:28:13 UTC 
No, I've seen some similar weird behavior as well. Let's try to reproduce this.
Comment 7 Joe 2019-12-05 11:52:39 UTC 
If you're referring to the pastebin links inside the comment section that I've sent. They have been deleted due to expiration I believe.
Comment 8 Sam Lantinga 2019-12-05 21:09:50 UTC 
Yes, can you post the info on this bug as well?
