`set_mode()` wont change the graphics mode the second time when OPENGL flag is used about pygame HOT 6 OPEN

@illume I imagine thats related, however afaik pygame is not storing textures in vram so it do not need to asumme an special behavior. However, thanks for your workaround it will work for me for now

@illume I tried your patch, and it works.
I will keep it until pygame fix the regression.

Also, I looked a bit, but I will be honest, I didn't search for very long if the SCALED issue was opened somewhere else.
If I see it, I will forward it to you.

Thanks for the good reproducer.

Note, I can't reproduce on Ubuntu 22.04. Maybe it's specific to the Windows driver.

I tested you script, and I can confirm, it breaks on my computer too (I uncommented the assert).
Both on:

• Windows7
• Python 3.10.7
• SDL 2.28.3
• Pygame 2.5.2

And:

• Windows7
• Python3.10.7
• SDL 2.26.4
• Pygame 2.4.0

But "funny" enough, I am using Pygame 2.4.0 because 2.5.x breaks the 'set_mode()' flags.
More precisely, the very useful pygame.SCALED is broken...

One thing is windows opengl has this quirk where you need to redo all of the textures and such when you get a new window. I'm not sure if it's related to that.

Probably you already know this, but as a work around you should be able to do:

pygame.display.quit()
pygame.display.init()
pygame.display.set_mode()

@TheDarkTiger do you know if there's already an issue about that SCALED thing? If so, can you please ping me on that issue?
