Description hqm03ster 2016-03-01 07:07:32 UTC 
Tested on Ubuntu 16.04.

When ALT-TAB-ing quickly to / from an SDL window, the window receives two KEYDOWN and one KEYUP events of the TAB key with an identical timestamp. ALT doesn't appear in any of the modifier masks. The second KEYDOWN is a repeat.

Are there any updates regarding this issue? I have the same problem in my game which works fine on OS X and Windows, but it does generate an extra tab event which is then parsed by the game itself as unwanted event.
