Win Program loses focus and cannot regain it back.

Application is working on Windows but when I run on RedHat10 under Wine 1.1.15. It looses focus and underlying Linux applications to get the keystrokes from the keyboard.

Clicking on the application we're trying to run or switching with ALT+TAB doesn't not give it the focus back.

The parameters we're running Wine are:

Allow the window manager to decorate the windows : OFF
Allow the window manager to control the windows: OFF
Emulate the Virtual desktop : OFF

If we allow the window manager to control the windows, then we don't have the problem. But, then we're having problems with modal forms used in our application.

I really appreciate if you guys can advise.

Thanks

Try enabling the virtual desktop.

Turn this back on. That's your problem. WM knowns nothing about Wine windows and takes all focus.

Hi vitamin,

It was ON earlier but then we had different problem. When we moved the window, edit box (which is expecting operator to enter some data) stays there and doesn't move along with window.

So what would you prefer? No input at all or input box in the wrong place? Don't touch that option.
