Summary: Half-Life engine game window starts without focus Product: Wine Version: 1.1.27 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: richardcavell@mail.com
When I launch any game that is based on Half-Life 1 (Half-Life, Counterstrike, Condition Zero, etc), the window starts without being active. In order to give it keyboard input I must highlight the window's title bar by clicking on it. This leads to several awkward issues.
Because the window is nevertheless able to capture mouse movements, I cannot use the mouse to click on the title bar of the window. Also, wmctrl cannot recognize the existence of a wine-created window. Alt-tab does not recognize a wine window either.I have managed to find a very awkward workaround. But the window should start active. Especially if it's fullscreen.
