Summary: PowerPoint 2007 insensitive to changes in screen resolution Product: Wine Version: 1.2-rc6 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: m.duelli@web.de
For presentations, you usually have to change your screen to the right resolution such that the external monitor / projector can display your slides.
However, I found that when you start PowerPoint 2007 using wine 1.2rc7 or more specifically the wine server before adopting the screen resolution, then PowerPoint or at least parts of it will stick to the former screen resolution.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Start your computer with a certain screen resolution, say 1280x1024 2. Start up PowerPoint 2007 with wine. (Everything is fine, presentation mode works as expected) 3. Change screen resolution 4. Activate presentation mode -> The presentation will be rendered to fit in the old screen resolution and there is no way to change this.
Possibly this also affects other applications.
