Description akakubiyaro 2018-08-07 04:18:15 UTC 
When using the metal driver in windowed, or SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN, mode I can get the screen to render using the workaround here:

https://discourse.libsdl.org/t/help-metal-backend-doesnt-seem-to-be-working/24796

However, passing the SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP flag will result in a blank screen. Doesn't seem to be a workaround for this particular case.

I believe this is fixed as of https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/758d4e1222a7
