Bug #: 34972 Summary: [1.7.6 specific] Fullscreen applications are only partially visible Product: Wine Version: 1.7.6 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: mr.exuberant@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified
After updating from Wine 1.7.4 to 1.7.6, I am no longer able to play fullscreen games properly.
Previously, everything worked fine both with and without using a virtual desktop.
Now, when I do not use a virtual desktop, and I allow my window manager (compiz) to control windows, only a small part of the game is visible (tested on Mass Effect 2 and 3, both of which were working fine in wine 1.7.4), making it impossible to play. The rest of the screen just shows the dekstop, but the game still has mouse and keyboard focus. I also don't think the game is being undirected as it should be, which is a performance issue.
If I check the box to enable virtual desktop, the games now use the full screen, but the taskbar shows overtop of the game, obscuring the bottom of the screen.
If I disable virtual desktop again and disable to option to let the window manager control the windows, it works fine, except now if I switch workspaces, the game follows me, making it impossible to do anything else without closing the game (previously, this worked fine).
I am using 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04
