Bug ID: 40244 Summary: PostThreadMessage with WM_NOTIFY message should succeed Product: Wine Version: 1.9.4 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: user32 Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: sebastian@fds-team.de Distribution: ---
The issue was encountered by a user in the #winehq channel while testing a company-internal application in Wine. Based on the provided log file I've tracked it down to the following few lines:
--- snip --- 0009:Call user32.PostThreadMessageA(00000028,0000004e,00000001,00000466) ret=0051258b 0009:Call winex11.drv.GetKeyboardLayout(00000000) ret=7e9a8476 0009:Ret winex11.drv.GetKeyboardLayout() retval=04090409 ret=7e9a8476 0009:Ret user32.PostThreadMessageA() retval=00000000 ret=0051258b 0009:Call user32.LoadStringA(00400000,0000ffc9,0033e820,00001000) ret=004071c7 0009:Ret user32.LoadStringA() retval=00000010 ret=004071c7 0009:Call KERNEL32.RaiseException(0eedfade,00000001,00000007,0033f880) ret=005125c6 0009:trace:seh:raise_exception code=eedfade flags=1 addr=0x7b83b77c ip=7b83b77c tid=0009 [...] --- snip ---
The application is not really happy about the result of PostThreadMessageA. A quick test confirms that sending WM_NOTIFY should succeed, which means Wines is_pointer_message() function is a bit too strict here.
I'll prepare some more tests and a patch to fix it, this bug is just to keep track of the issue.
