Package: freeglut3
Version: 2.4.0-6
Severity: normal
glutDestroyWindow() does not really destroy the window. Instead, it
puts the window in a list of windows that will be destroyed later. This
is annoying for software that opens a GL window from time to time that
needs to be closed without the program exiting. Attached is a small
program that exposes the behaviour.
A workaround can be to use glutHideWindow() before calling
glutDestroyWindow(), but that is not optimal since it does not free
the resources.
