            Bug ID: 58953
           Summary: Wine 10 steals all mouse input when playing any game
           Product: Wine
           Version: 10.18
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: xinput
          Assignee: wine-bugs(a)list.winehq.org
          Reporter: shockwaves08(a)hotmail.com
      Distribution: ArchLinux

Issue: When launching any game with Wine 10 selected, the game steals all mouse
cursor focus completely, and does not relinquish control if the user switches
to a background app (i.e. Google Chrome and/or Discord). Makes any sort of
multitasking in completely impossible until the game in question is closed.

In certain games, like Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced, the inverse is true; while
mouse can be used in external apps, doing so completely shuts down ALL in-game
input, whether by gamepad or mouse and keyboard, requiring a force-close and
restart to restore normal functionality.

Expected Behavior, circa Wine 9 and earlier: Game relinquishes mouse cursor
control when switching between currently-running apps, allowing for normal
mouse control.

I already reported this same bug on Valve's Proton GitHub, but I figured I'd
tackle this severe issue at the source too.

Hello,

https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/Bugs

- use a vanilla Wine development version;
- create a clean wine prefix;
- install the application there with any Windows program that the game requires
- Steam Windows client in this case, with its own 'arial' winetricks
dependency;
- NO DLLs override, unless required to reach the issue. State the DLL overrides
in that case;
- run the application and collect terminal output to attach here;

Also give us the link to the external bug reports so that it's easily
accessible/remembered.

Regards.
