Description Ryan C. Gordon 2012-12-16 19:27:35 UTC 
The documentation for SDL_CreateWindow() says SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN can be passed as a flag, but the proper flag appears to be SDL_WINDOW_HIDDEN (in the absence of this flag, the window will be shown). First glance at the code looks like SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN is ignored (as it should be).

(Sorry if you get a lot of copies of this email, we're touching dozens of bug reports right now.)

Tagging a bunch of bugs as target-2.0.0, Priority 1.

This means we're in the final stretch for an official SDL 2.0.0 release! These are the bugs we really want to fix before shipping if humanly possible.

That being said, we don't promise to fix them because of this tag, we just want to make sure we don't forget to deal with them before we bless a final 2.0.0 release, and generally be organized about what we're aiming to ship.

Hopefully you'll hear more about this bug soon. If you have more information (including "this got fixed at some point, nevermind"), we would love to have you come add more information to the bug report when you have a moment.

Thanks!
