Fixed bug 3161 - SDL_WINDOWEVENT_EXPOSED event possible queue overflow

Marcel Bakker

Observed when resizing or moving a window in Windows 7.

Depending on how you resize/move your window
, you may receive none or a lot of SDL_WINDOWEVENT_EXPOSED events
, at the moment you release the mouse button.

Maybe add this event to an already existing list of overflow candidates ?
