Problem with SDL_MOUSEBUTTONDOWN

SDL Development
1

Hi,
I’m new to SDL and like it so far.
I am using vc6.0 in a practise SDL\OpenGL program.

The problem is that with each single mouse click,
I am getting two events. They both happen
within 1 ms of time. (This ends up negating a
toggle variable in my event function). I could of
course filter out the second event, but that seems
inefficient.
Anything obvious I might be overlooking?

Thanks,
Stewart

i believe this has all been fixed in the latest cvs version
of SDL. you can grab that or wait for the 1.2.1 release. you
can keep track of SDL changes here;

Nope, it’s a bug that was fixed in CVS last month:

It’ll be fixed in the next release.

See ya!
