           Summary: Odd windows management behaviour in later dev versions
           Product: Wine
           Version: 10.12
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

I run a geneaology database program written for windows under wine. It runs
fine on v10.0 (stable) and on dev versions up to 10.4. From v10.5 and upwards,
including v1012, I'm encountering an odd issue.

When opening a search window, this window opens in the background instead of on
top of the main window. I then have to move or resize the main window in order
to highilght the search window and fill in the search data. But this only
happens the first time I open the search window. Next time it opens in the
foreground.

If I untick the box "Allow the window manager to control the windows" in
winecfg > graphics, the search window opens expected. But this solution has its
drawbacks.
