In case you're looking for a proper fix, you should discuss this with
the SDL folks - Hatari is not the culprit of this behavior here, it's
definitely an SDL problem instead.

So you should maybe join the SDL mailing list
(http://libsdl.org/mailing-list.php) and discuss the problem there, or
open a bug ticket here: https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/
