Maximising window causes display to malfunction

[David Barker]

Upon maximising the window, the display is stretched and mouse clicks are not properly handled (right-clicking to add an object adds it in a different position to the mouse click). Restoring the window fixes the stretching, but the mouse handling problem persists until the window is manually resized by dragging its border.

I'm going to try and see if I can fix this, but I may have to simply discourage users from maximising the window as it seems to be a GLUT problem.

Apparently the problem is that maximising or restoring the window doesn't call the registered function for handling a window resize (or the function doesn't work properly); calling said function on every update fixes the problem but potentially at the cost of performance. What would be helpful would be some way of detecting a maximise or restore, so that the resize function could be called on the following update to ensure that the viewport wasn't messed up. I'm still looking into this idea at the moment, watch this space...

I have decided that this problem is currently unfixable; I may put a notice in the readme when the program is released warning users not to maximise the window and explaining how to solve the problem when it occurs.
