Bug 725

Summary: Restoring fullscreen window problem
Product: SDL Reporter: J. Gareth Moreton <gareth>
Component: videoAssignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2 Keywords: target-1.2.14
Version: 1.2.13   
Hardware: x86   
OS: Windows (XP)   

Description J. Gareth Moreton 2009-04-08 12:19:41 UTC 
Under the Win32 build of SDL 1.2.13, if the Windows taskbar is on the left or the top of the screen (as opposed to the bottom), if a fullscreen window is minimised and then restored, it will be shifted away from the edge of the screen... shifted downwards if the taskbar is on top and to the right if on the left.  The effect is cumulative, to the point that the window is off the screen completely after several minimise/restore operations.

This effect has been observed in custom code and in the Free Software version of Warzone 2100.

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).
