Bug ID: 45498 Summary: Nexia Software: subwindows missing controls and operation depends on wm Product: Wine Version: 3.13 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: harri.olin@gmail.com Distribution: ---

This is a control software for Nexia series DSP's by Biamp systems. It does install and work just fine and can talk to DSP units on network but there are couple of issues that could be fixed.
Create new document with file/new, drag 'Peak 8 channel' from input/output section of 'processing library' to document and double click on the module. This should open new normal, non-maximized window with minimize, maximize and close controls with maximize control disabled.
What really happens seems to depend of window manager: On XFCE4 (ubuntu 18) always maximized On Unity (ubuntu 16) always non-maximized
On Gnome (ubuntu 18) most of time window opens non-maximized, but sometimes nothing seems to happen and software seems to get stuck. When this happens, clicking multiple times on minimize button on main window minimizes and is immediately restored, possibly under other open windows, or it might stay minimized. Also control window that should have opened previously might open when restoring the main window, and it can open in any of 4 states: minimized, normal, maximized or full screen. If control window opens in full screen state, there was no obvious way to close the subwindow, only option was to quit the whole program.
Similar problems occur with other modules from library, for example 'Peak 2 channel' control might open with totally black window.
Some modules control windows work better always opening non-maximized state on all widow managers.

Second problem with windows size, Drag 'Auto 4' module from library Mixers section to document and open control dialog by double clicking the module, press on 'Mic Options' button. This opens new control dialog but it is too small and doesn't show all controls and can't be resized. I can create new bug for this problem if it looks like it doesn't belong to this bug.

There are couple of other strange things going on, not sure how they are related:
On Windows, when the 'Mic options' dialog is open, main window and control window can't be interacted with, but with Wine, you can still move the control window around and close it when the mic options dialog is open.
On Windows, on some of control dialogs (anything from mixer category), maximize button is active, but doesn't really maximize the window, it might only move a little. On Wine, maximize button maximizes the control window, but only part of window has contents, rest is transparent. These control windows are resizable on Windows, but have set maximum size. On Wine, size limit is not honored.

Control windows are also missing labels on buttons, bug 45497 on that problem.

Tested on wine 3.13 from winehq on Ubuntu 16 and 18, running on Hyper-V on Windows 10. Issues also seen on earlier Ubuntu and Wine versions but no exact record available on version numbers, probably Ubuntu 14 and Wine 1.6.
