Mac OS X issue since 0.9.59

zullil · Post by **zullil** » Tue Jun 17, 2008 7:41 pm

In short, when running a application via wine, the active window migrates down my screen until it disappears, and then returns from the top of the screen. This problem did not exist with 0.9.58, but has been present ever since.

I compile wine from source by running ./tools/wineinstall, as suggested in the README file that comes with the source.

Can anyone else verify this problem? Or is it local to my system? Any help would be much appreciated.

Please run a regression test:

Thanks for suggesting regression testing, but I don't want to take the time now for that process.

I'd really like to know if anyone can verify what I'm seeing. If so, then maybe there's an issue worth investigating further.

I've had that happen once, but not since then. It was only one window, and would only move down when I interacted with it. I quit it before it had the chance to wrap to the top of the screen. Here are the (fuzzy) details...

- iMac 2Ghz Core 2 Duo
- Mac OS X 10.5.3
- Wine RC(?), Kronenburg build
- XQuartz 2.2.?
- Some native libraries
- I think the app might have been 7zip file manager

Please file a bug report on this issue. I will require the application
that shows this problem.

Austin:

If I have the time this weekend, I'll run a regression test on this
using Mike Kronenberg's build system and also to verify that the problem
exists.

Thanks for the responses. I just compiled Wine-1.0 and used it to run the Windows version of Firefox 3. The same "wandering window" issue exists on my machine.

The issue seems to occur with many other apps too.

By the way, I'm now using Xquartz 2.2.3 - (xorg-server 1.3.0-apple21)

I'll hold off on the bug report, until someone else can confirm that there is a non-local problem.

Does wine notepad have the same problem?

No.

The problem seems to occur when an application updates or modifies part of an existing window. I hope that makes sense.

It's a known bug in quartz-wm: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12431

Thanks for clearing this up. So to avoid the problem I need to run a different window manager. That's a shame, but maybe I'll look into it.

I wonder if Apple has been informed of this issue in quartz-wm?
