Bug#665779: Window corner re-size events ignored by SDL

[Andrew Caudwell]

Package: libsdl1.2debian
Version: 1.2.15-2
Severity: important

SDL 1.2.15 contains a rather nasty bug with window resizing reported here:

http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1430

If the user attempts to re-size the SDL application window at the
corner, that event and all subsequent re-size events are ignored,
resulting in the window area not matching the area drawn to by the
application.


I recently implemented window resizing in my SDL application Gource
only to discover this feature no longer works due to this bug, so I am
keen to see this fixed before I do another release.

As documented on the above report the issue was introduced by this commit:

http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/ad4ed9f0336f

This change was intended to fix an earlier less serious /
un-reproduced re-size bug (
http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1049 ) though its effect
has been to completely break it.

I wonder if perhaps we could get a patch added to the debian package
reverting this commit as it may take a long time to filter through in
a release from upstream.

Cheers

Andrew Caudwell
