Re: Release of Enigma 1.30-alpha

[Andreas Lochmann]

Thank you for your patience, Sidney. We now know the location of the bug (SDL, of course), and have to find a way to work around it. This will need some time. I have an idea how to do this, but it will probably further impact Enigma's performance negatively. I might have to add an option for this.

This worked, though with the problem you mentioned when the invisible mouse
cursor leaves Enigma's window.

No, the result of that is 0, and the large numbers problem of course re-appears.

There is no "Last SDL error" in the log, and nothing in the log looks to me as
if it represents an SDL error message. There could be lines that I incorrectly
think are other warnings, but none of them strike me as being an SDL error
message.
