Tilting my computer plays notes (Accelerometer detection bug?)

(1/2) > >>

MovieMovies1:
Essentially, if I tilt my computer left I get a C#, and if I tilt it towards me I get a D#.

I'm on a laptop, which has some kind of accelerometer in it (to help protect the hdd i think or something), which seems to interfere with MilkyTracker. It's perhaps related to the switch to SDL 2 in version 1.0.0, seeing as this bug does not happen on 0.90.86.

MovieMovies1:
Further testing leads me to find that tilting away from myself registers as K, left as L, towards myself as Ø and away from myself as Æ.

Seems like some weird issue with SDL 2...

Saga Musix:
Do other SDL2 applications exhibit similar problems? If it's not an issue with SDL2, I can imagine that Milky is truncating some key scancodes somewhere and they end up as regular keyboard codes...

MovieMovies1:
Happens in ProTracker-win, as well as some application somebody made for me to test the keytilt.

Saga Musix:
So did you file a bug with SDL2 yet? At this point you definitely should. I doubt there is anything MilkyTracker can do, apart from upgrading to a bugfixed SDL2 once it's released.
