Bug 999

Summary: Events stop working for 1st window when 2nd is created
Product: SDL Reporter: Pavel Kanzelsberger <kanzels>
Component: eventsAssignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>

Description Pavel Kanzelsberger 2010-05-06 14:08:05 UTC 
Everything regarding events works fine until you create a new window, then simply any kind of events (mouse, keyboard) will stop entering the event queue for the first window, and they work fine for the 2nd window. It doesn't matter if you close the 2nd window, they won't work again for the 1st window at all. First window is not broken or something, because I can still draw or animate stuff in that window as before.

I believe this is fixed in the latest SDL 1.3 snapshot:
http://www.libsdl.org/tmp/SDL-1.3.zip

Can you check it out?

Thanks!

I tested with this:

if(event.type == SDL_MOUSEBUTTONDOWN && event.button.windowID == SDL_GetWindowID(window1))
{
    loop_running = false;
    break;
}
in my event loop (i create a window2 immediately after window1)
The loop quits, so this appears to be fixed.

I am also running Windows 7.
