In the course of running winecfg I have encountered a situation I have no idea how to recover from. Adjusting the graphics by using the screen resolution slider I moved the slider all the way right to 480 giving me a VERY large font. This gave me a large winecfg window - bigger than my screen. My OS is Debian 10.4. This was way too big. I was able to reduce the slider to a resolution of 144. At the same time I check marked the Emulate a virtual desktop. I used a hotkey to allow me to grab the winecfg window to move it up giving me access to the apply and OK buttons. I like the appearance of the virtual desktop. The problem is the winecfg box is tool large for the virtual desktop. I cannot grab the winecfg box using a hotkey. The hotkey moves the virtual desktop. I don't know how to move the winecfg box inside the virtual desktop so I can make changes to the winecfg and gain access to the apply and OK buttons Ideas or solutions anyone? I don't have a problem with removing wine configuration files to start over with the winecfg routine but if I can learn how to manipulate this it would be a positive for me.
I am trying to install Haltech Platinum series v.1.14.0 ECU Manager. It runs 32 bit. I start wine command line so I can see any errors scrolling on the screen. I see no errors. Wine runs the WinZip self extractor through the beginning of the installation routine then a smaller box pops up over the installation box and the whole process locks up. When I close the smaller box a message displays telling me all temporary files are being deleted. I increased the font in an attempt to read more information in the smaller box. This was slightly successful. I was able to read more of the title bar. The rest of the smaller box was empty. I was hoping to find a question and be able to answer the question to allow the installation process to proceed or see error messages in the smaller box. I saw nothing in the box and I see no errors in the command line terminal. I don't know if there is a log file. I would think there would be but I have not seen one.
thank you very much for your attention

(It seems you solved your dpi problem but if not there's a fix on that page.)
You can set things in winecfg so that only certain applications use a virtual desktop, then winecfg would be managed by your wm/de. That's probably the easiest fix for that problem. (I remembered an old windows trick, there's a "move" option in the program icon menu. Unfortunately you can't move the title bar off the screen so that wouldn't help I think.)
As for you application, if it's a self extracting zip you can just unpack it with unzip or some other archive program if you use one. Should keep it from deleting itself and may be easier to figure out what's going wrong that way but I don't have anything specific right now.
