+Fixed bug 2325 - SDL_EnableUNICODE sometimes drops keyboard events completely
+
+Rafał Mużyło
+
+The most annoying part of this bug is that though I've found it in two separate apps, I don't have a trivial testcase for it.
+
+The problem seems to be a condition race, as it's triggered quite randomly (therefore it will be hard to tell whether it really gets fixed, if a probable fix is found).
+
+While it's specific to SDL 1.2, it seems quite similar to the problem described and fixed in http://forums.libsdl.org/viewtopic.php?p=40503.
+
+Now, I should start describing the problem.
+
+A game uses Escape to open menu (the exact key might not be important). Upon opening, it calls SDL_EnableUNICODE(1). Upon closing it calls SDL_EnableUNICODE(0).
+
+I have an IME running.
+
+Game uses SDL_PollEvent to get the events.
+
+If Escape is pressed repeatedly, menu is opened and closed, till it eventually freezes in open state.
+"freezes" in this context means "app itself still runs, but no keyboard events are getting delivered (though - for example - mouse events still are)". "getting delivered" should mean "SDL_PollEvent is not receiving any".
+If it matters, the last delivered keyboard event is a keypress, the release never arrives.
+
+It seems (no guarantees, due to random nature of the freeze) that unsetting XMODIFIERS (which - AFAIU - will disable IME as far as SDL is concerned) prevents the freeze, therefore the reference to that SDL2 thread.
