Bug 519

Summary: CTRL ALT META modifiers are not properly initialized on SDL_Init
Product: SDL Reporter: Marc S. Ressl <mressl>
Component: videoAssignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2 Keywords: target-1.2.14
Version: 1.2.12   
Hardware: PowerPC   
OS: Mac OS X (All)   

Description Marc S. Ressl 2007-12-01 07:42:52 UTC 
I am writing an emulator that uses shortcuts COMMAND-0 COMMAND-1 COMMAND-2 to change video size.

Problem is that when initializing video, the keyboard modifier COMMAND is not correctly initialized, so when I press COMMAND-0, don't release COMMAND and then try COMMAND-1, the second time a "1" without the COMMAND modifier is send to my emulator.

I think it is just necessary to correctly initialize the CTRL ALT META modifiers...

Thanks a lot for the hard work on SDL.

Does this happen with the checkkeys test program?  I wasn't able to reproduce the problem:
Key pressed:  310-left meta  modifiers: LMETA
Key pressed:  48-0  (0) modifiers: LMETA
Key released:  48-0  modifiers: LMETA
Key pressed:  49-1  (1) modifiers: LMETA
Key released:  49-1  modifiers: LMETA
Key released:  310-left meta  modifiers: (none)
Comment 2 Ryan C. Gordon 2009-09-13 16:33:26 UTC 
Tagging this bug with "target-1.2.14" so we can try to resolve it for SDL 1.2.14.

Please note that we may choose to resolve it as WONTFIX. This tag is largely so we have a comprehensive wishlist of bugs to examine for 1.2.14 (and so we can close bugs that we'll never fix, rather than have them live forever in Bugzilla).

It's been a couple years with no updates, I'm closing this for now.
