[fixed] r2711: Windows 7: Application switching (Alt-Tab) breaks shortcut keys

[Coldfusionstorm]

On windows 7, when after tabbing out and then in a game you will need to press alt-enter to enable keyboard again, you can chat if i remember correct but no shortcuts will work and the lobby chat wont work either. This issue also affects earlier revisions (but it's unclear whether it also affects v3.5.2).

MY grpaphic gard is Nvidia

Is anyone else able to reproduce this?

I am unable to reproduce this, could you re-explain each exact step and expected vs actual behaviour?

Thanks

Just Alt-Tab, when tabbing in again short cuts are kinda disabled, fx, K wont work. il post a a little more detailed post later

This bug is actually due to a bug in SDL (on windows 7 SDL is telling us that the ALT or CTRL keys are pressed when they are not). I will see what i can do to work around this.

UPDATE:

After checking around I found this: http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/090d764c56e4

So I have applied this patch to our Windows SDL win32_deps and problem solved (all windows people who compile need to download the newest win32_deps from sourceforge to get the patched SDL libs)
