I'm currently having two issues, and I think that they are related to each other.
1st, the SFML window I create does not draw/display anything until I move the mouse over it.
Second, whenever I move the mouse, my openGL primitives get both smaller and closer together-- as long as the mouse is moving (any direction, and INSIDE the SFML window) until they disappear completely. I'll post the relevant code here, because I am currently stumped and I have no idea what to google for on this issue.

}
GameManager::GameManager(string title)
{
//the dimentions of the window
int size[2] = {800, 600} ;
//creates the game window, sized to the two elements of the array declared above
window.Create(sf::VideoMode(size[0],size[1]), title);
this->initGL();
this->resize(size[0], size[1]);
}
GameManager::~GameManager(void)

const sf::Input& GameManager::GetInput()

return window.GetInput();

{
//constantly loop through the window
while(window.IsOpened())

while(window.GetEvent(Event))

};
The general gist is this:
Manager creates window. Manager updates and draws window repeatedly. Whenever the mouse is moved, the primitives (the vertex2f calls) get closer to the origin, and smaller, until they disappear completely.
Any help would be AMAZING.
I have tried:
[list=]
removing, moving, and in general experimenting with the commented out calls to glLoadIdentity() in the draw method.
debugging. The code stays in these 3 files, plus of course the openGL ones which I cannot see in VS, the entire time.
Changing the primitives from GL_POINTS to GL_LINES, and GL_TRIANGLES.
Removing GL_FLUSH.
