Maximizing a window invalidates the window surface

Relevant to #2603

The bug can be fixed if you add a pygame.init(), because the init hook of window module is called when display module init, then the init hook sets the event watch.

Ah, I didn't notice it was just about the resizability!

Using pygame.display.set_mode with pygame.RESIZABLE this problem never surfaces, so it probably shouldn't here?

The resize event watch of display module is set in set_mode(), so it's not influenced by this bug.

Sure. I’m saying that since this error can’t occur with pygame.display, it shouldn’t be able to occur with pygame.window.

I see two ways to resolve this

• Window constructor calls pygame.display.init()
• Window constructor requires pygame.display.init() to be called already, and error otherwise

I prefer the second way. pygame.display.set_mode actually goes the first way however

[Starbuck5]

The way I see it, the modern way is to make initializations more automatic. And it's precedented in display.set_mode.

But either option would be better than the current setup.
