Currently, SDL_CreateRGBSurface() and SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceFrom() take Uint32 masks for RGBA to "describe" the Pixelformat of the surface.
Internally those value are only used to map to one of the SDL_PIXELFORMAT_* enum values that are used for further processing.
I think it would be both handy and more efficient to be able to specify SDL_PIXELFORMAT_* yourself without using SDL_PixelFormatEnumToMasks() to create masks first, so I implemented functions that do that:
SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceWithFormat() and SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceWithFormatFrom() which are like the versions without "WithFormat" but instead of taking 4 Uint32s for R/G/B/A masks, they take one for a SDL_PIXELFORMAT_* enum value.
Together with https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2923 creating a SDL_Surface* from RGBA data (e.g. from stb_image) is as easy as
surf = SDL_SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceWithFormat(0, w, h, bppToUse*8, SDL_PIXELFORMAT_RGBA32);

On Windows, you are able to navigate between the buttons on a MessageBox that was created using SDL_ShowMessageBox using the arrow keys. However, if you press the left arrow key, the selection jumps to the button on the right of the currently selected one (and vice versa).
This can be fixed by reversing the order in which the buttons are added to the dialog.
The attached patch files fixes this problem. However the first press of an arrow key leads to the selection of the leftmost or rightmost button on the MessageBox, not to the selection of the button left/right of the one that is selected by default.

At startup time, the single android window is assigned a "windowed" (window->windowed.{w,h}) size based on the current orientation of the mobile device; this size is never updated throughout the lifetime of the app.
This becomes problematic when the app is paused and then resumed in an orientation that it did not start up in. Eventually, 'SDL_OnWindowRestored()' is called, which calls 'SDL_UpdateFullscreenMode()'. This function is very problematic because it is written with a desktop monitor in mind: it tries to find a matching display mode for the windowed size, doesn't find any, and finally applies the windowed size as the fullscreen one. In the end, the windowed size is reported in a RESIZED event, which doesn't correspond to the actual surface size.
To see this in action: Start an orientation aware SDL app in eg. portrait mode, suspend the app, put the device into landscape orientation and resume the app. It will erroneously render in portrait mode (until the device is rotated again).

Using checkkeys test app:
* Press and hold Caps Lock key.
* checkkeys reports a CapsLock key pressed event and a CapsLock key released event.
* Release Caps Lock key.
* checkkeys reports no further events.
This patch fixes OSX Caps Lock up/down event detection by installing a HID callback.

While attempting to integrate CEF (Browser) into an SDL application, we noticed that there were problems on OS X where approximately 50% of the input events were essentially being lost - even when we were using off-screen rendering in CEF and passing through input events manually.
It appears that this problem has been around for a while (see: http://www.magpcss.org/ceforum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=11141).
Please consider the following patch that fixes this issue. Instead of processing events directly after calling [NSApp nextEventMatchingMask:...] we now pass these events down to NSApp, for processing by an overloaded sendEvent: method. Chromium also forwards events to NSApp in the same way, which means we don't miss events, even if they were originally dequeued by CEF.

In SDL_x11modes.c the CalculateXRandRRefreshRate() function performs integer math on values that may return fractional results. This causes a value that would be calculated as 59.99972... to be returned as 59. In Linux the xrandr command returns 60Hz for this particular display mode yet SDL returns 59Hz.
I suggest this function be updated to correctly round the result of the calculation instead of truncating the result.

The mouse cursor gets corrupted when the mouse moves over the screen edges (right and bottom) a weird type of scaling seems to occur and you end up with a blank square.

Source Suface is ABGR and Destination Surface is ABGR. We use software blending. In the Switch-Case statement for SDL_COPY_BLEND (Line 126) the alpha-channel is not calculated like in every SDL_blit_auto - function. So if the destination Surface has alpha - channel of zero the resulting surface has zero as well.
Add: “dstA = srcA + ((255 - srcA) * dstA) / 255;” to code and everything is okay.

Original code in the video/windows/SDL_windowsevents.c registers obsolete WNDCLASS (not WNDCLASSEX). As the result only one icon size is used as the small and normal icons. Also original code doesn't specify required size of an icon. As the result when 256x256 icon is available, the program uses it as a default icon, and it looks ugly.
We have to use WNDCLASSEX and load icons with proper sizes which we can get using GetSystemMetrics.
Better idea. We could use the first icon from resources, like the Explorer does. Patch is included. It also correctly loads large and small icons, so it will look nice everywhere.

The keyboard on iPads has a dismiss button that hides the keyboard. When the keyboard was hidden using that button, instead of the return key, SDL was still reporting IsTextInputActive as true. This patch adds an extra SDL_StopTextInput when iOS reports the keyboard will hide.

The bug here is that a dead keys pressed before calling SDL_StartTextInput() carries over into future text input, so the next key pressed will have the deadkey applied to it.
This in undesirable, imho, and doesn't occur on OS X (haven't check Linux or elsewhere). It's causing a problem for Quakespasm on German keyboard layouts, where we use the ^ deadkey to toggle the console (which enables/disables text input), and ^ characters are showing up in the TEXTINPUT events.

The current SDL_SaveBMP_RW function that saves surfaces to a BMP uses an old bitmap header which doesn't officially support alpha channels. Applications just ignore the byte where the alpha is stored. This can easily be extended by using a newer header version and setting the alpha mask.
The attached patch has these changes:
- Extending the description of the function in the SDL_surface.h header with the supported formats.
- Refining when surfaces get stored to a 32-bit BMP. (Must have bit depth of 8 or higher and must have an alpha mask or colorkey.)
- Fixing a small bug that saves 24-bit BGR surfaces with a colorkey in a 24-bit BMP.
- Adding code that switches to the bitmap header version 4 if the surface has an alpha mask or colorkey. (I chose version 4 because Microsoft didn't lose its documentation behind a file cabinet like they did with version 3.)
- Adding a hint that can disable the use of the version 4 header. This is for people that need the legacy header or like the old behavior better. (I'm not sure about the hint name, though. May need changing if there are any rules to that.)

When the SDL_Blit_Slow function compares the pixel to the color key it does so without removing the alpha component from the pixel value and the key. This is different from the optimized 32-bit blitters which create a rgb mask and apply it to both to filter the alpha out. SDL_Blit_Slow will only skip the pixels with the exact alpha value of the key instead of all pixels with the same color.
The attached test case blits a surface with a color key and prints the pixel values to the console. The third row is expected to be skipped.
The Apple TV remote is currently exposed as a joystick with its touch surface treated as two axes. Key presses are also generated when its buttons and touch surface are used.
A new hint has been added to help deal with deciding whether to background the app when the remote's menu button is pressed: SDL_HINT_APPLE_TV_CONTROLLER_UI_EVENTS.
