SDL3 error on SDL_DestroyWindow in full-screen mode
I create a window and set it to full-screen via SDL_SetWindowFullscreen(window, SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN), everything works fine. However, when I call SDL_DestroyWindow(window) while the window is still in full-screen mode, it throws an error.

If I use windowed mode (SDL_SetWindowFullscreen(window, 0)) and then destroy the window, there is no error.
This isn't crashing for me. I've modified the renderer-clear example to take the window and make it fullscreen on the first press of the space bar, and then destroy it on the second.

Does this also crash for you? And if so, what versions of SDL and macOS are you using? It might be something we already fixed, or something that macOS fixed (or broke!) in a different version.
I'm on Sequoia 15.4.1, and the latest in SDL3 revision control.
Can confirm, this problem happens to me too (in a codebase that's too big to make an example out of) and in that case I get a Bad Window Parameter crash on X11 XFCE. The problem is, this bug is very inconsistent. Perhaps try waiting a moment while you make your example code draw a lot of stuff ? It never happens right away.
The original report was on macOS, and looks Cocoa-specific, so this is likely a different problem.
If you can reproduce this in your program and it's something I can run here, I'm happy to see if I can trigger it.
mac 13.2 sdl 3.2.22
Can you provide a complete executable example for this— including the main() function — and show the exact steps to run it? I’m not familiar with how to set up the example from examples/renderer/clear. Should I clone the SDL project and build it myself, or can I dynamically link against the SDL version installed through Homebrew?
In my case, the fullscreen mode always triggers that error, and it’s 100% reproducible.
