The attached minimal program sets the SDL_HINT_MOUSE_RELATIVE_MODE_WARP to 1, enables relative mouse mode then logs all SDL_MOUSEMOTION xrel values as they happen.
When moving the mouse exclusively to the right:
* On a Windows 10 installation before Fall Creators update (for instance, Version 10.0.15063 Build 15063), only positive values are reported, as expected
* On a Windows 10 installation after Fall Creators update (for instance, Version 10.0.16299 Update 16299), a mix of positive and negative values are reported.
3 different people have reproduced this bug and have confirmed it started to happen after the Fall Creators update was installed. It happens with SDL 2.0.7 as well as latest default branch as of today.
It seems like some obscure (maybe unintended) Windows behavior change? Haven't been able to pin it down more yet.

Broken GetCursorPos / SetCursorPos based games on Win 10 fall creators are not limited to SDL.. I just tested winquake.exe (original 1997 exe) and it now has "jumps" in the mouse input if you try to look around in a circle. It uses GetCursorPos/SetCursorPos by default. Switching WinQuake to use directinput (-dinput flag) seems to get rid of the jumps.

A friend tested on Win10 1607 (which is before the Fall Creators Update) and the the bug doesn't occur there, so the regression that SetCursorPos() doesn't reliably generate mouse events was indeed introduced with that update.
I even reproduced it in a minimal WinAPI-only application (https://gist.github.com/DanielGibson/b5b033c67b9137f0280af9fc53352c68), the weird thing is that if you don't do anything each "frame" (i.e. the mainloop only polls the events and does nothing else), there are a lot of mouse events with the coordinates you passed to SetCursorPos(), but when sleeping for 10ms in each iteration of the mainloop, those events basically don't happen anymore. Which is bad, because in games the each iteration of the mainloop usually takes 16ms..
I have a patch now that I find acceptable.
It checks for the windows version with RtlGetVersion() (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff561910.aspx) and only if it's >= Win10 build 16299, enables the workaround.
All code is in video/windows/SDL_windowsevents.c
and the workaround is, that for each WM_MOUSEMOVE event, "if(isWin10FCUorNewer && mouseID != SDL_TOUCH_MOUSEID && mouse->relative_mode_warp)", an addition mouse move event is generated with the coordinates of the center of the screen
(SDL_SendMouseMotion(data->window, mouseID, 0, center_x, center_y);) - which is exactly what would happen if windows generated those reliably itself.
This will cause SDL_PrivateSendMouseMotion() to set mouse->last_x = center_x; and mouse->last_y = center_y; so the next mouse relative mouse event will be calculated correctly.
If Microsoft ever fixes this bug, the IsWin10FCUorNewer() function would have to
be adjusted to also check for a maximum version, so the workaround is then disabled again.

SDL_windowsevents.c contains code to retrieve the x and y coordinate for a requested hit test. It does this as follows:
POINT winpoint = { (int) LOWORD(lParam), (int) HIWORD(lParam) };
LOWORD(lParam) does not correctly mask off high bits that are set if the point is on a second (or third, etc.) monitor. This effectively offsets the x-coordinate by a large value.
MSDN documentation suggests that LOWORD() and HIWORD() are the wrong macros for the task, instead suggesting we should be doing something like the following:
POINT winpoint = { GET_X_LPARAM(lParam), GET_Y_LPARAM(lParam) };
Testing this change on my Windows 10 machine with 2 monitors gives the correct results.
- Fixing rendering borderless window. Need to force windows to send a WM_NCCALCSIZE then return 0 for non-client area size.
- Adding WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU | WS_MINIMIZEBOX to borderless windows, for reasons noted in comments.
- Fix SetupWindowData() setting SDL_WINDOW_BORDERLESS. This was being cleared at window creation, causing hanlding for the first WM_NCCALCSIZE message to fail

I implemented precise scrolling events. I have been through all the folders in /src/video/[platform] to implement where possible. This works on OS X, but I can't speak for others. Build farm will figure that out, I guess. I think this patch should introduce precise scrolling on OS X, Wayland, Mir, Windows, Android, Nacl, Windows RT.
The way I provide precise scrolling events is by adding two float fields to the SDL_MouseWheelScrollEvent datastructure, called "preciseX" and "preciseY". The old integer fields "x" and "y" are still present. The idea is that every platform specific code normalises the scroll amounts and forwards them to the SDL_SendMouseWheel function. It is this function that will now accumulate these (using a static variable, as I have seen how it was implemented in the Windows specific code) and once we hit a unit size, set the traditional integer "x" and "y" fields.
I believe this is pretty solid way of doing it, although I'm not the expert here.
There is also a fix in the patch for a typo recently introduced, that might need to be taken away by the time anybody merges this in. There is also a file in Nacl which I have stripped a horrible amount of trailing whitespaces. (Leave that part out if you want).

Seems to be a missing functionality. I want to set an icon from RC file. I cant pass MAKEINTRESOURCE(X) string to SDL_RegisterApp() cause string returned by MAKEINTRESOURCE string is not actually a string and SDL_strlen will crash. Moreover LoadImage seems to be loading wrong icon size. LoadIcon seems to be fine.

When WIN_WindowProc processes the WM_TOUCH message, it doesn't check if the touch functions have been properly loaded and may call a NULL pointer. It's probably an extremely rare case, but here's a patch that adds some checks anyway.

Its possible to set SDL_CaptureMouse() so you continue receiving mouse input while the mouse is outside your window. This works however There is then a gap where no messages send, which is when the mouse is hovering the title bar and the window edges.

After a drag and drop event, any following mouse button input (down/up) doesn't generate an event. Clicking any mouse button a *second* time generates an event like it should.
Further investigation shows that the new SDL_HINT_MOUSE_FOCUS_CLICKTHROUGH logic also causes this issue in other cases, like the first time you open the program and click the mouse.

Original code in the video/windows/SDL_windowsevents.c registers obsolete WNDCLASS (not WNDCLASSEX). As the result only one icon size is used as the small and normal icons. Also original code doesn't specify required size of an icon. As the result when 256x256 icon is available, the program uses it as a default icon, and it looks ugly.
We have to use WNDCLASSEX and load icons with proper sizes which we can get using GetSystemMetrics.
Better idea. We could use the first icon from resources, like the Explorer does. Patch is included. It also correctly loads large and small icons, so it will look nice everywhere.
This lets windows know when they are dropping a mouse event because their
hit test reported something other than SDL_HITTEST_NORMAL. It lets them know
exactly where in the event queue this happened.
This patch is based on work in Unreal Engine 4's fork of SDL,
compliments of Epic Games.
This allows an app to know when a set of drops are coming in a grouping of
some sort (for example, a user selected multiple files and dropped them all
on the window with a single drag), and when that set is complete.
This also adds a window ID to the drop events, so the app can determine to
which window a given drop was delivered. For application-level drops (for
example, you launched an app by dropping a file on its icon), the window ID
will be zero.

When inputting text, dead-keys are currently not handled correctly on Windows with the latest SDL2 tip as well as the 2.0.3 release.
Using a French AZERTY keyboard, when I type the `^` key followed by `e` key to compose the `` character, I erroneously get two SDL_TEXTINPUT events, one with the `^` character and one with the `e` character.
I've looked at the history for SDL_windowsevents.c and there's been some back-and-forth with several methods for handling text input:
* r8142 removed any handling of WM_CHAR because keyboard input was being handled through WM_KEYDOWN along with ToUnicode since r7645.
* But using ToUnicode actually breaks dead-keys (googling for "ToUnicode dead keys" reports many horror stories of people trying to work around that and failing).
* It seems like r7645 introduced a double-fix: it fixed WM_CHAR to properly handle Unicode, and also (unnecessarily?) added text input handling to WM_KEYDOWN. Later, r8142 removed the WM_CHAR stuff instead of the WM_KEYDOWN stuff.
The attached patch restores handling of text input through WM_CHAR and removes it from WM_KEYDOWN. I've tested it with French, English and Russian layouts and it seems to do its job. Obviously, with such matters, it's still a risky change.
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
