I'm using release 2.3 on windows 2000.
(FYI.: I got it running adding one DLL from win2kgaming's tools for windows 2000 gaming.)

Running in fullscreen, then using ALT-TAB switches to other windows applications, but the mouse is being locked every second at 0,0 (left upper) corner.

Workaround: use window mode(see video options).

Windows Vista as well.
On returning to Windows, mouse locks in top left hand corner.
Keyboard still works if apps are in foreground.

This bug comes from SDL. See page for details:

http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=849

It seems, we have to wait for SDL 1.2.15 or 1.3.

so i'm closing this as we can't do anything about it

Recompiled SDL using the last revision related to 1.2.14 which is 5500
Linking against this new SDL solves that problem
