Public bug reported: When trying to create a window with unsupported OpenGL attributes, instead of failing gracefully (and then being able to try with a new set of attributes), an X error occurs instead, terminating the program. The error looks like this:
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 4 (X_DestroyWindow) Resource id in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 154 Current serial number in output stream: 156 This was a known bug in SDL2 that has been fixed in this commit: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/2088cd828335 Only artful ships a package that is impacted by the bug, other ubuntu versions ship either an SDL2 version that is older, or a version that contains the fix. Would it be possible to backport the fix to the artful package? ** Affects: libsdl2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1762033 Title: X BadWindow error when attemtping to create a window with unsupported OpenGL attributes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsdl2/+bug/1762033/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
