Window / Multiple windows and order of polling message queues
« on: December 29, 2013, 01:29:52 am »
Hey,
I'm seeing something a bit weird in my application. I create 2 windows, and in my "main loop", I poll/process the events queues from both windows, but I noticed that if I don't poll the event queues in the same order as the windows were created, then I get rendering errors (on one window, nothing renders, on on the other window, which just displays a text, the font is messed up).
Even weirder is that if I set a breakpoint in the debugger before the first even queue is polled, then everything works as expected.
I'm running on OSX (and pretty sure the issue wasn't present on Windows, as I started developing on Windows, and first noticed this when I had gotten everything compiling/loading under OSX).
Has anyone else seen this? (The workaround is simple, I just want to know if this is a requirement, as I couldn't find anything relevant in the documentation).
Thanks,
Magnus
