Description Andrew Zabolotny 2007-03-03 12:54:57 UTC 
My application uses relative mouse motion. The WhatsNew file says (pinned to version 1.0.3:

Under X11, if you grab the input and hide the mouse cursor, the mouse will go into a "relative motion" mode where you will always get relative motion events no matter how far in each direction you move the mouse - relative motion is not bounded by the edges of the window.

This doesn't work. To prove this I did a small patch to the testgl.c program which allows you to hide the mouse cursor (which is one of two pre-requisites in order to enable relative mouse reporting), and it already allows for input grabbing.

If you apply the patch and compile the testgl application, press Ctrl+H and Ctrl+G which will both grab the mouse and hide the mouse cursor. However, the relative mouse motion is still reported until the mouse hits the window border.

This used to work with SDL 1.2.8 (if I remember correctly), but it doesn't work anymore with SDL 1.2.10.

We already fixed this in Subversion (but the fix isn't in an official release, yet).

Detailed explanation is in Bug #299.
