Black screen on startup on macOS 10.14 Mojave

Description

We are experiencing an SDL bug on recent versions of macOS. This can be fixed by upgrading SDL as well as using Metal as a graphics backend. This would push us into dropping versions of macOS/OSX earlier than 10.11 (El Capitan).

A workaround would be starting by default in windowed mode, which redraws the window and fixes the issue.

My hack in Phab:D1671 should be abandoned or commandeered (it was a stopgap measure in case we wanted to fix it somehow for the release). But you might have an idea for a proper fix Ben, so I'm CCing you :)

Thanks! I'm slowly updating and testing library upgrades on macOS. SDL is on the list!
