Subject: Modifier key fix
The internal modifier state can get out of sync with reality. To
trigger this, do for example this:
1) Launch an SDL app
2) Alt-click on the desktop (this will hide the SDL app).
3) Bring the SDL app back to the front
4) SDL will still think alt is pressed (and as such will treat left
clicks like middle clicks). If you press and release alt, it'll be fine
again.
The attached patch cures this by rechecking the modifier state whenever
we process an event.
The latest development version of SDL is available via CVS:
cvs -d :pserver:guest@libsdl.org:/home/slouken/libsdl.org/cvs login
# No password, so just hit enter when prompted for a password
cvs -d :pserver:guest@libsdl.org:/home/slouken/libsdl.org/cvs checkout SDL
When you check a fresh copy of SDL out of CVS, you need to generate
the files used by make by running the "autogen.sh" script, which will
run aclocal, automake, autoconf and then run configure.
There is a web interface to cvs at http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi
