Bug 5339

Summary: Minor memory leak in SDL_x11events.c
Product: SDL Reporter: wcodelyokoyt
Component: videoAssignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: trivial    
Priority: P2    
Version: 2.0.13   
Hardware: All   
OS: Linux   

Description wcodelyokoyt 2020-11-03 21:02:33 UTC 
The atom name that X11_GetAtomName() returns never gets freed, which result in a minor memory leak (14 bytes?) every time the user drops a file on a window.
You can see the line in question here:

Fix: call XFree on name after the while loop.
