Description Cameron Gutman 2021-01-24 23:24:49 UTC 
SDL_SetKeyboardFocus(NULL) will lift any keys still pressed when keyboard focus
leaves the window, but then key repeat comes behind our backs and presses the
key down again. This results in an infinite stream of SDL_KEYDOWN events when
focus leaves the window with a key down (particularly noticeable with Alt+Tab).

The fix is simply to call keyboard_repeat_clear() in keyboard_handle_leave().
