[SDL] Re: BeOS bug

[Eugenia Loli-Queru]

The bug is still there, and it happens to non-opengl applications too.
I tried to test the problem to my other partition where I have the new
OpenGL installed and GLUT installed. The bug is still there in the 2D
fullscreen SDL games. In my opinion this is an SDL bug.
