Bug 582

Summary: Mouse button release when minimized
Product: SDL Reporter: Tomi Belan <tomi.belan>
Component: *don't know*Assignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: minor    
Priority: P2 Keywords: target-1.2.14
Version: 1.2.13   
Hardware: x86   
OS: Linux   

Description Tomi Belan 2008-05-03 00:52:32 UTC 
If you release a mouse button while an application is minimized, the application won't notice it and will still report the button is pressed.

How to reproduce this bug: create a windowed application that reports events. Press and hold a mouse button. Then minimize the application using a WM keyboard shortcut, without releasing the button (the shortcut depends on the WM you use; you'll probably have to change it in your WM configuration dialog). Release the mouse button and then restore the application. SDL_MOUSEMOTION events now report the button is pressed, although it really isn't.

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).
