Bug - Missing mouse events in windows

SDL Development
1

I already posted about this back in August (http://forums.libsdl.org/viewtopic.php?t=6485), and it still hasn’t been fixed. I made a patch and everything.

Code:

    if (SDL_GetMouseFocus() == data->window) {
    SDL_SetMouseFocus(NULL);

This patch is for a much older revision, but it should still work on the current revision.

Off-topic, I really disapprove of the forum automatically putting my posts on the mailing list. Ever since I made that post, I started getting mild amounts of spam in my e-mail account, where I had never gotten any before.

I am checking every single day since you posed your patch here if it was pushed already. Just some time ago: http://forums.libsdl.org/viewtopic.php?t=6625

Frankly this has become ridiculous. I now start to consider SDL 1.3 unmaintained and looking for alternative after over a year developing project with it which I guess don’t have to say is a real pita.

And I tottaly agree with you on forum -> mailing list part too. Thing is SDL forums is in practice inexistent. There are no mods, no real topics or anything and SDL (at least 1.3) deserves a real forum imho.
