Bug ID: 48565 Summary: When entering fullscreen at lower resolution than the desktop, scrollable virtual desktop is accessible Product: Wine Version: 5.0 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: dmayr.dev@gmail.com Distribution: ---
I tried playing a DirectX-based game, e.g. GTAIV, using the emulated virtual desktop at 800x600 (my desktop's native resolution is 1440x900).
But ever since I changed back to playing the game fullscreen at 800x600 *without the virtual desktop*, the following happens:
- The game starts at the desired lower resolution - Part of my desktop environment's panel is visible within the game's viewport, at that same lower resolution - If I move the mouse far enough, I realize that there's an active 1440x900 virtual desktop, showing me a lo-res 800x600 window - I can scroll around the edges of this virtual desktop, thus Wine losing the captured mouse cursor - When playing, this moves the centered game view past the center of the screen, losing focus; this prevents the mouse cursor's movements to be confined within the fullscreen window, which is supposed to be the an immovable viewport.
I haven't found a way to revert back from having tried the virtual desktop option, as the change has been somehow been made permanent.
