[Bug 58385] New: Regression in Wine 9.22 causes plugin windows in Acrobat XI (e.g. PitStop Pro) to remain visible after closing

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58385 Bug ID: 58385 Summary: Regression in Wine 9.22 causes plugin windows in Acrobat XI (e.g. PitStop Pro) to remain visible after closing Product: Wine Version: 9.22 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: user32 Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: edwardjameswells(a)gmail.com Distribution: --- Starting with Wine 9.22, plugin windows in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI — such as those provided by Enfocus PitStop Pro (e.g. the “Action Lists” window) — fail to disappear after being closed. This behavior did *not* occur in Wine 9.21 and earlier. ### Behavior: When the plugin window is closed (e.g. via the PitStop GUI), it disappears from Acrobat’s internal state — but remains *visibly open* on screen, frozen, and unresponsive. It is not redrawn or refreshed, and cannot be interacted with. Wine appears to believe the window has been destroyed, but the X11 window remains mapped. This affects usability severely. The bug affects both 32-bit and WOW64 installations. It occurs whether or not a window manager is used. ### Regression Confirmation: - Works in Wine 9.21: PitStop windows close cleanly and disappear from screen. - Broken in Wine 9.22 through 10.9 (latest tested): PitStop windows persist after close. ### Notes: This is *not* specific to WOW64 or any DPI configuration. I suspect the following commit introduced the regression: > `user32: Reimplement WIN_ListChildren() using NtUserBuildHwndList().` The bug appears to be that Wine no longer propagates child window teardown (e.g. `DestroyWindow` or `UnmapNotify`) to X11 for plugin-type windows that are marked as `WS_POPUP`, `WS_CHILD`, or transient. These windows may be missed by the new child enumeration logic. I can provide detailed logs with `WINEDEBUG=+win,+x11drv` if needed. ### System Details: - Arch Linux (current) - X11 (EXWM, but bug occurs without WM as well) - Wine 64-bit and 32-bit tested - Affected App: Adobe Acrobat Pro XI with PitStop Pro plugin -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59109 Bug ID: 59109 Summary: Final Fantasy XI Online: White flash upon game client launch. Product: Wine Version: 10.20 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: win32u Assignee: wine-bugs(a)list.winehq.org Reporter: chiitoo(a)gentoo.org Regression SHA1: 18339eb0f5048500efb668e6a9b679ed2f62d7a3 Distribution: Gentoo After 18339eb0f50 [1], when transitioning from the launcher, PlayOnline Viewer, to the Final Fantasy XI Online game client, there is a brief white flash where it used to remain black. This also causes white flashes when switching away and/or back to the game window when running in windowed mode, but it seems to be more a symptom of the commit blamed in 58491 [2].

[Bug 59214] New: Keysym translation breaks key bindings in most video games for Dvorak users
by WineHQ Bugzilla Jan. 6, 2026

Jan. 6, 2026

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59214 Bug ID: 59214 Summary: Keysym translation breaks key bindings in most video games for Dvorak users Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: winex11.drv Assignee: wine-bugs(a)list.winehq.org Reporter: burneddi(a)protonmail.com Distribution: --- Created attachment 80110 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=80110 workaround for the issue Most video games try to bind keys by positions (virtual keycodes) rather than by keysyms. This means the keybindings will be layout-agnostic as long as the user is using a standard physical keyboard -- so e.g. WASD movement will still happen on where the WASD keys would be on QWERTY even if the user's layout is AZERTY or Dvorak. The way Wine remaps vkeys for Dvorak layouts breaks this, resulting in the default controls in most games being unusable and the user having to rebind every key manually (so e.g. WASD in the settings menu becomes ,AOE). I can't imagine translating vkeys like this is actually correct or desireable behaviour. I don't have a Windows machine or the Windows know-how to test this right now, but I'm pretty sure on Windows a Dvorak layout will still be sending standard QWERTY keycodes, making Wine's behaviour incorrect. I've attached a patch that I use to work around this problem by just disabling the Dvorak-specific vkey layout translation. With this patch keyboard binds in games work as expected, and it doesn't break typing into text fields because input into those uses keysyms rather than keycodes. It's not production-ready (I just commented out the dvorak vkey table) but should help illustrate the problem. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
