[1.2.15]-Full Screen-Win7:OK/Win8:Broken?

Hi,

My team and I are working on a shareware version of our spelling game: "LettersFall".
We are using current SDL 1.2.15 and notice the following problem with full screen:
On Windows XP,Vista,7 full screen works ok, but on Windows 8 full screen is broken?

Is this a known issue with SDL 1.2.15 full screen on Windows 8?
How can we fix this issue so that full screen works on Windows 8 too?

I am lead programmer, but I run Kubuntu 14.04 L.T.S. 64Bit OS on my development desktop
so I can not test and fix the above issue so my team mate with little SDL experience will do it.
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi,

It was a problem with our source code and not SDL.
We have fixed full screen mode now in Alpha3.

If anyone wants to see what we are working on now
then you can download the Windows binary version at the below URL link:
