Hello!
A while ago I think Sam mentioned that there
was some new feature added to SDL for allowing
the app itself to take care of invalidated
screen-areas. I can’t seem to find any info
on it… right now it seems that
SDL-0.9.13 for win32 doesn’t update
the screen by itself, but that the
Linux/X11 SDL-0.9.13 does…
Any hints?

I think that’s a bug. Can you give me an example of an application that
exhibits this behavior?

Well, it’s a commercial app, and I just sent
the final version to my customer right now -
using SDL v.0.9.9.
I think you get the problem with any app
that doesn’t refresh the whole screen all
the time…
