Mouse freezes when clicking

Post by Raenock »

In games, mouse pointer freezes while clicking. For example, in counter-strike, I can shoot and move at the same time, but not shoot and aim. This started happening a few wine releases back. Any ideas? I tried searching for this but nothing came up.

Try disabling "capture mouse in full-screen windows" option in winecfg, graphics tab. If that won't fix the problem - downgrade Wine to wine-1.3.19.

Confirm this problem

I can confirm this problem. The effect with Runes of Magic shows as follows:

When running in windowed mode, or with"capture mouse in full-screen windows" option disabled, the cursor freezes after dragging the mouse with buttons pressed (eg when moving character). After a few second, behaviour returns to normal until you try again...
When running in full-screen mode and with graphics option "capture mouse in full-screen windows" enabled, the mouse cursor freezes completely.
However, the mouse still moves in the background and you can even select items by chance, it is just not visible any more as the cursor image remains frozen.

This behaviour seems to be inherent to all Wine 1.3.X versions, issued so far.

Cheers, Stefan

I had this problem from 1.3.19 to 1.3.24.
1.3.25 fixed it for me.
