[SDL] Strange problem with Win32 Sleep function and SDL

[Matthias Weigand]

Hi,

The operating system ist still running when your program is waiting for 
Sleep to complete. And usually Windows is handling the display of the 
mouse cursor, except you draw it yourself in your program and disable 
the standard mouse cursor.

Maybe you forgot to "break;" the cases above SDL_QUIT?
Like...
switch (event.type)
{
  case SDL_MOUSEMOTION:
    updateMouse(...);
    break; // <-- !!!
  case SDL_MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
    clickMouse(...);
    break; // <-- !!!
  case SDL_QUIT:
    return(0);
}

Hope that helps.
Matthias
