[Bug 47488] New: Keyboard insertion point interference when running Wine app
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47488 Bug ID: 47488 Summary: Keyboard insertion point interference when running Wine app Product: Wine Version: 4.0.1 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: scw189(a)cox.net Distribution: --- When running a Wine app (Legacy9, genealogy program) in the background and then trying to type anything with a word processor or do a Google search, it is difficult to enter text because the insertion point character keeps disappearing after 2-5 second. Then you have to click again in the text field to reset the insertion point and try to type a few characters before it disappears again. This issue stops as soon as the Wine application is terminated. Mouse operation does not seem to be affected, just keyboard character input is impaired because the insertion point is continually being lost. Cannot find any messages or error codes being asserted and system does not 'crash'. OS is Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon with all updates applied. Computer is Dell Dimension E521 with 64bit dual core Athlon CPU, 6gb memory. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

For example, does this occur with notepad.exe? -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47488 --- Comment #2 from S. Wilcox <scw189(a)cox.net> --- This does not occur when the Wordpad app is running under Wine (have not tried Notepad) and text insertion point operation seems normal in apps running outside of Wine. It is puzzling how the Legacy9 operating under Wine can affect those apps running simultaneously outside of Wine. I believe that there must be common system code that is shared by the apps under Wine and the apps outside of Wine. Somehow multiple apps inside and outside of Wine are interfering with each others use of the function for the text insertion point cursor. Also, thinking about this further, I think this may be a mouse function, common code, issue, not keyboard. The mouse click sets the location of the text insertion point cursor. With control of the text insertion point being in contention from multiple apps, it is very difficult to enter keyboard characters. Also puzzling, is the 'time-out' observed. After setting the insertion point, it stays for several seconds (when you can enter text) and then disappears (and then, of course, you can't enter text). -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
