[core] `CloseWindow()` keeps an invisible window in dock, causing issues in input handling about raylib HOT 6 CLOSED

Hello,

If you mean directly from raylib, then I don't think so. I believe the input queue itself is managed by GLFW and just polled by raylib (reference). You could try:

1. including GLFW/glfw3.h and calling glfwPollEvents() after sleep(), maybe that could work to empty the queue;
2. or calling raylib's PollInputEvents() after sleep(), but it definitely wasn't designed for that;
3. or try PLATFORM_DESKTOP_SDL.

Best regards.

Since the issue is in GLFW (the ticket you linked) we have to wait for them to fix it or use a different raylib core such as RGFW or SDL

I was thinking if raylib can call something right before initialize or terminate. Unfortunately I don't know enough about mac os to tell if it can be hacked around in raylib or not.

I'm afraid this issue is out-of-scope of raylib but on its underlying library GLFW, anything added in raylib side would be just a patch to circunvent GLFW issue.

I had no success with changing raylib core to RGFW, but have tried RSGL alone, which uses RGFW. Unfortunately, it seems like there is the same issue. After closing a window, it hangs, freezes, and shows not desirable behavior.

If somebody interested, here is the code to reproduce the problem (based on RSGL/examples/basics/text.c):

#include <stdio.h>
#define RSGL_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "RSGL.h"

int window_drawer__custom(void);

int main()
{
    window_drawer__custom();
    char input = '0';
    while(input!='q')
    {
        input = getchar();
        if ( (input != '\n') && input != EOF) { printf("input: %c\n", input); }
    }
    printf("finished. \n");
    return 0;
}

int window_drawer__custom(void) {
    RSGL_window* win = RSGL_createWindow("window 1", (RSGL_rect){500, 500, 500, 500}, RSGL_CENTER);

    RSGL_setFont(RSGL_loadFont("Super Easy.ttf"));
    
    for (;;) {
        RSGL_window_checkEvent(win);

        if (win->event.type == RGFW_quit)
            break;

        RSGL_drawText("Text example\nnewlines too", RSGL_CIRCLE(200, 200, 20), RSGL_RGB(255, 0, 0));
        RSGL_window_clear(win, RSGL_RGB(255, 255, 255));
    }
    
    // RSGL_window_close(win);
    // RGFW_window_close(win);
    printf("\nRSGL window_drawer__custom : done \n");
    
    return 0;
    }

(font is inside the RSGL/examples folder)

When // RSGL_window_close(win); or // RGFW_window_close(win); is uncommented, then window is normally closed, but application just finishes at that point, without going back to main().
While it stays commented, control goes back to main() from the function, but window stays hanging.

So, switching to RSGL did not solve the problem, and I suppose raylib with RGFW under the hood won't do it either.

Don't know where to share that, hope it will save some time for somebody.

@raysolva Could you move the issue to the RGFW repo?
