I fixed window resizing and moving freezes

but when I hold down mouse left click on window's title bar, <glfwPollEvents()> stops the main thread.

I searched the web; people said you should move render loop to an other thread.

I tried multi threaded way, but the screen, goes crazy!

Can anyone help me fix that?

this is single threaded code:

Lock the mouse to the window region so it can't get to the title bar.

Press ESC to pause the game to allow mousing outside window.

The problem that occures here is that the event loop is flooded with OS specific events that tells the Window that it's position has changed. If you are on Windows for example you will always stay in the

while(true)
{
    if(PeekMessage)
    {
        TranslateMessage;
        DispatchMessage;
    }
    
    //call to the game loop
}

if clause and translate those “important” messages until you stop moving your window.

I don't know how GLFW is written but you should try to move the glfwMakeContextCurrent(window); call into your thread if you want to render multithreaded. OpenGL is used to stay single-threaded only and so only one thread can own the render context. If another thread tries to modify something, GL will prevent this but it allows to share contexts between threads with defined roles, for example a loader thread that has data access while the render thread well … renders
