Re: [AD] windows resizing regression

[Michał Cichoń <michcic@xxxxxxxxxx>]

IMHO the proper behavior is to send event when user resize window
manually, after calling al_resize_display(), after changing from/to
windowed/fullscreen mode (is there any event to notify about that?).

al_acknowledge_resize() is not necessary from the point view of the
user. Just yet another thing to remember about. I first thought
handling resize event is good enough, because this is the right place
to handle incoming changes. Events are processed in single thread, so
I will not be drawing while processing event queue.
