Package: libsdl1.2debian Version: 1.2.15+dfsg2-4 Severity: important Tags: patch
Hi, since some time I noticed a problem within a game (Unreal Tournament 2004) using libsdl1.2 that the forward movement suddenly stopped, while I still had the forward key pressed. This is an quite annoying bug when playing the game. The bug likely also affects many other games using libsdl1.2. I traced this behavior down to change [1] in the X server. Further analysis showed that patches solving this issue haven been added to libsdl2. I opened an upstream bug about backporting these to the SDL-1.2 branch and they have been quickly accepted in [2]. A cherry-pick of the upstream patch from the SDL-1.2 fixing the issue is available as merge request here: https://salsa.debian.org/sdl-team/libsdl1.2/-/merge_requests/2 It would be really great to get this included in bullseye.
