If the app behaves differently in Wine than in Windows, then it's a bug. Is this a regression or not?
Re-read my comments, please. There is *nothing* to regress test for. The problem, once the rules of behavior were worked out, has been present in all tests I have conducted. Earlier posters (submitting V2.6 and 4.x [sic]) have not commented on this issue but it's highly likely that the problem existed then.
The Windows version is poorly implemented in several areas. Please re-read my comments regarding the app's (in my opinion) mishandling of the "no change" event for display formats, even under Windows. It is, at best, poorly formed and more likely simply not thought through fully. App performance, then, follows that deficiency in planning.
As for Wine development, it appears there is no support for the case of creating a window, for an app, which is then discarded or at least no longer seen in the task bar, while a service tray icon remains although the app continues to run (examples that come to mind quickly include CDMax, Avast!'s anti-virus package, and MS's network connection tool). Should this support exist under Wine, then WXTide32 would benefit from that support. Until that point, however, there is nothing further to be done. This is, as far as I can see, not a bug but a lack of development in a particular area.
