From: Darrell Walisser
Subject: Yet another OS X cursor bug
The synopsis:
1. Call SDL_ShowCursor(0);
2. Call SDL_SetVideoMode();
3. Call SDL_GetEvent();
3. Call SDL_ShowCursor(1);
The result: Sometimes the cursor doesn't come back! Ack! Oddly enough,
it does come back when mousing over the dock or clicking in the menu
bar. But that's besides the point.
The reason why this is happening is a flaw in the handling of
activation/deactivation events. The short explanation is that the
HideCursor() and ShowCursor() calls must be balanced, but if the cursor
was initially hidden, HideCursor() was called again on the activate
event - so now the next ShowCursor() fails (as does the next, and the
next, for some reason).
So, here's the patch. All it does is keep track of the
HideCursor()/ShowCursor() calls so that they will always be balanced.
