Orientation change causes bogus SDL_QUIT and SDL_APP_TERMINATING events

[ghost]

I am using PySDL2 + python-for-android without kivy. In my test app, the first orientation change seems to cause an SDL_QUIT and an SDL_APP_TERMINATING event, and I don't know why - it looks like a bug to me.

This is the test code (feel free to build & test for yourself, needs --requirements=sdl2,pysdl2,python3crystax, --orientation user of course, and possibly --window to reproduce):

All I did during this output was 1. launch the app, 2. change screen orientation.
This is the output indicating the bug:

08-24 21:18:48.308  4475  4494 I python  : Terminating (app termination event: SDL_QUIT).
08-24 21:18:48.308  4475  4494 I python  : Actually, ignoring this
08-24 21:18:48.308  4475  4494 I python  : Terminating (app termination event: SDL_APP_TERMINATING).
08-24 21:18:48.308  4475  4494 I python  : Actually, ignoring this

This simply shouldn't happen, I think. I'm not sure why it does. When I change the code to not ignore those bogus events and actually terminate, the app crashes on orientation change with some java wrapper backtrace that looks like it's confused why the SDL window is suddenly gone. (well, why did it send me SDL_QUIT and SDL_APP_TERMINATING then...?)

Also, even more strangely, for any later orientation changes, this no longer happens. The bogus events only get sent for the very first one right after the app launched into my main.py code.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Build code above with --requirements=python3crystax,pysdl2,sdl2 --orientation user --window (last flag may or may not be required to reproduce)
2. Launch app, don't rotate the phone while it still unpacks & loads
3. When screen goes black and after adb logcat confirmed the app launch with the line Creating window (app launch)..., rotate your phone
4. Observe bogus events in log (or change the commented out code to be active, and observe the crash)

Interestingly, kivy doesn't seem to have special handling for SDL_QUIT that somehow works around this: https://github.com/kivy/kivy/blob/96dfa5b55ed74c8223152dd84cd478bfed03e90b/kivy/core/window/_window_sdl2.pyx#L521

Am I doing something unusual again that could cause this? Do all kivy apps just terminate on screen rotation? 😕 Weird

closing since I finally managed to debug p4a to find out what the issue is
