I've only really started using wine and linux on my pc. Already set up and have working WoW on wine but i find difficulty when changing windows away from the open wine window.
First noticing this when I tried to take a screenshot of my WoW screen, the screen then flashed with the blue back ground of my wine window, I was unable to return to it without completely shutting off wine and going back into it. Finding anyway the screenshot had taken a picture of my desktop background.
Even in windowed mode when running WoW my screen keeps flashing everytime i mouse out of the window. Its not a major problem but it means i cannot open any other window or take screenshots inside wine. Sorry for any lack of detail or knowledge as i said im very new to the whole operating system and program.
I thank you for your patience and welcome any and all advice, if it helps im running Ubuntu and wine 1.3.15

Probably won't help for this bug, but you might want to update to
latest wine (1.4 to date)

Thanks, did the update some brilliant graphics but the sounds now crackling constantly. See this is an ongoing issue with the update so I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for your replies
