Summary: problem with creating multiple windows in SDL 1.3

If you create a window (#1) in SDL 1.3, then create a new window (#2) later on, then destroy window #2. Window #1 stops responding to mouse events. It appear that this is because SDL re-registers with RegisterRawInputDevices on every window create, which causes #2 to get the inputs (which no longer exists). Does this seem right? If so, should it only do RegisterRawInputDevices on the first window created, or maybe even re-register on a destroy window with another window ID that actually exists?

Ryan, this is a critical bug caused by the multi-mouse stuff.

Tested with this code:
if(event.type == SDL_MOUSEBUTTONDOWN && event.button.windowID == SDL_GetWindowID(window1))
{
    if(window2){
       SDL_DestroyWindow(window2);
       window2 = NULL;
    }
    else{
       loop_running = false;
       break;
    }

}
in my main loop. The first click closes the second window, the second click stops the main loop as expected.

This appears to be fixed; at least in Windows 7.

but of course that's probably due to the fact that you have already removed raw input for multiple mouse support.

Yep, the raw mouse API stuff is gone.
