I get an "Unable to make GL context current" error when switching between fullscreen and windowed modes, but only at 16 bit depth--15 and 32 work fine. This happens with DirectX and windib drivers.

There's an example in the URL above.

Setting Sam as "QA Contact" on all bugs (even resolved ones) so he'll definitely be in the loop to any further discussion here about SDL.

In this case we have to recreate the OpenGL window, and there was code to do this in SDL, but it was disabled because it doesn't work with DirectX.

I've re-enabled this code for the windib driver, which is the default now.
