Its possible to set SDL_CaptureMouse() so you continue receiving mouse input while the mouse is outside your window. This works however There is then a gap where no messages send, which is when the mouse is hovering the title bar and the window edges.

The attached patch does the following for the X11 and Windows platforms, the only ones where SDL attempts to use context_create_es_profile:
- Adds SDL_HINT_OPENGL_ES_DRIVER by which the application can
say to use the OpenGL ES driver & EGL rather than the Open GL
driver. (For bug #2570)
- Adds code to {WIN,X11}_GL_InitExtensions to determine the maximum
OpenGL ES version supported by the OpenGL driver (for bug #3145)
- Modifies the test that determines whether to use the OpenGL
driver or the real OpenGL ES driver to take into account the
hint, the requested and supported ES version and whether ES 1.X
is being requested. (For bug #2570 & bug #3145)
- Enables the testgles2 test for __WINDOWS__ and __LINUX__ and adds
the test to the VisualC projects.
With the fix in place I have run testdraw2, testgl and testgles2 without any issues and have run my own apps that use OpenGL, OpenGL ES 3 and OpenGL ES 1.1.

In SDL_windowsopengles.c, WIN_GLES_SetSwapInterval is as follows:
WIN_GLES_SetSwapInterval(_THIS, int interval)
{
/* FIXME: This should call SDL_EGL_SetSwapInterval, but ANGLE has a bug that prevents this
* from working if we do (the window contents freeze and don't swap properly). So, we ignore
* the request for now.
*/
SDL_Log("WARNING: Ignoring SDL_GL_SetSwapInterval call due to ANGLE bug");
return 0;
}
With a recent version of ANGLE (early July) calling SDL_EGL_SetSwapInterval with a D3D11 backend appears to work just fine. I am working on testing this with D3D9.

I found the bug, it was fixed in 2013. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/angleproject/issues/detail?id=481
In my opinion it should be safe to unconditionally use SetSwapInterval now. Anyone who encounters the bug should update their ANGLE to a version less than 3 years old, especially since they'd be using a SDL version that's 3+ years newer than their ANGLE version.

SDL2 allows to create widow and to get information through SDL_SysWMinfo.
But it misses something, with Vulkan, you need the HWND and HINSTANCE of the window for Win32 system.
Sadly, SDL2 provides only HWND but not HINSTANCE.
In some context, it can be difficult to get the HINSTANCE, indeed, I'm using pySDL2 (Python) and I can only access properties that SDL2 gives me.
I have to use a dirty trick like that to get the HINSTANCE: (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bglgwyng/pyVulkan/master/examples/win32misc.py)

After a drag and drop event, any following mouse button input (down/up) doesn't generate an event. Clicking any mouse button a *second* time generates an event like it should.
Further investigation shows that the new SDL_HINT_MOUSE_FOCUS_CLICKTHROUGH logic also causes this issue in other cases, like the first time you open the program and click the mouse.

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.

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 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.
This lets windows know when they are dropping a mouse event because their
hit test reported something other than SDL_HITTEST_NORMAL. It lets them know
exactly where in the event queue this happened.

This is currently implemented for X11, Cocoa, Windows, and DirectFB.

This allows an app to know when a set of drops are coming in a grouping of
some sort (for example, a user selected multiple files and dropped them all
on the window with a single drag), and when that set is complete.
This also adds a window ID to the drop events, so the app can determine to
which window a given drop was delivered. For application-level drops (for
example, you launched an app by dropping a file on its icon), the window ID
will be zero.
There are platforms it isn't implemented on (and currently can't be
implemented on!), and there's currently no way for an app to know this.
This shouldn't break ABI on apps that moved to a revision between 2.0.3 and
2.0.4.

When inputting text, dead-keys are currently not handled correctly on Windows with the latest SDL2 tip as well as the 2.0.3 release.
Using a French AZERTY keyboard, when I type the `^` key followed by `e` key to compose the `` character, I erroneously get two SDL_TEXTINPUT events, one with the `^` character and one with the `e` character.
I've looked at the history for SDL_windowsevents.c and there's been some back-and-forth with several methods for handling text input:
* r8142 removed any handling of WM_CHAR because keyboard input was being handled through WM_KEYDOWN along with ToUnicode since r7645.
* But using ToUnicode actually breaks dead-keys (googling for "ToUnicode dead keys" reports many horror stories of people trying to work around that and failing).
* It seems like r7645 introduced a double-fix: it fixed WM_CHAR to properly handle Unicode, and also (unnecessarily?) added text input handling to WM_KEYDOWN. Later, r8142 removed the WM_CHAR stuff instead of the WM_KEYDOWN stuff.
The attached patch restores handling of text input through WM_CHAR and removes it from WM_KEYDOWN. I've tested it with French, English and Russian layouts and it seems to do its job. Obviously, with such matters, it's still a risky change.
- do the scancode to keyboard code lookup for the grave key, so that we can show users the correct keyface for the key, rather than forcing it to "`". Note that if a game is using SDLK_* for its KB mapping then after this change on some keyboards the top left key will no longer be mapped correctly with the old data.

The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
