Has anyone tested compatibility with OS X 10.10 Yosemite?

I have wine-1.7.26. Wanted to upgrade to Yosemite, but unsure if this version or any newer version of wine will be compatible with the new operating system.

I know the answer may depend on which Windows application I'm attempting to run, but generally speaking have there been any issues with Wine itself on OS X 10.10 Yosemite?

I have been running Wine 1.6.2 (latest stable) on my MacPro (retina) with Yosemite installed over Mavericks installed over Mountain Lion(?), using tpsDig the landmark digitizing software of James Rohlf. It works fine to begin with but after about an hour and after many images (20-30) images have had their 31 landmarks (in this case) recorded, the track pad control of the cursor starts to get jittery; and that is the sign I should take a break, save the data so-far digitized, close wine and reboot wine later. Sometimes the jitteryness persists outside of wine and I reboot Yosemite. Rebooting Os X always solves the problem and I can continue with wine. The jitteryness never develops unless I have run wine. So I am suspecting a developing memory leek that needs rebooting to cure. There have been total lock-ups of the screen using wine with loss of accumulated data when I do not heed the jitteryness as a warning to get out of wine and reboot. :cry:
Has anyone else experienced the jittery cursor symptom?

Yes, plenty of times, even *not* using wine. This is usually WindowManager getting clogged up - you probably don't need to reboot, just log out then log back in which effectively shuts down WindowManager then restarts it when you log back in. You can tell by surfing around your filesystem in Finder and observe the icons reloading.

This has been an increasingly annoying issue (WM getting clogged) since moving to Mavericks. In doing research, I have seen hundreds of people online experiencing the same lag issues with both Mavs and Yosemite on both new and older Macs. My hunch is it's an 'optimization' that came into the Mavericks code base and they still haven't sorted it out yet.
