As I said, warping the mouse cursor back to the centre of the screen was
a hack from XWinAllegro days (pre-Allegro 3.9.x) exactly to get around
this limitation. It's supposed to get behaviour more approximate to
what you would have got on DOS.
The Windows port doesn't do this, so there's an inconsistency.
Do you mean that the user should be responsible for calling
set_mouse_position() on platforms where he wants get_mouse_mickeys() to
have an infinite range of movement?
They currently have to if they want it to work under windowed modes in
Windows. And I think it's a good idea to change X to behave like Windows
(eg. allow the mouse to leave the window) since auto-mouse-trapping is A
Bad Thing, IMO.
That said, no that's not what I meant. What I meant was to implement
set_mouse_range so the OS properly traps it in the window for us (if the
range size is less than the window size).
