Bug ID: 37204 Summary: DirectShow videos steal focus from RPG Maker 2000/2003 games Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: mathewvq@gmail.com
When a video plays in an RPG Maker 2000 or 2003 game, the DirectShow (sub?)window that's created steals focus from the game. This, in turn, causes the game engine to pause, which doesn't resume until the whole game window is defocused and refocused.
I've prepared a demonstration here. When you start the "game" (by pressing space on the title screen), the screen will fade out and in to the message "[No Movie Playing]", and then instantly turn to black and pause. After the game window is defocused and refocused, the game (and video) will resume.

(The included shell script runs the game in windowed mode.)
This happens in both Linux with X11 and OS X with non-X11 driver. Winetricks + quartz "fixes" the problem but causes other issues.
