Bug ID: 37393 Summary: Focus GNOME3 handling never shows window if started inf fullcreen Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: i30817@gmail.com
Since changing to gnome 3 if a application starts in fullscreen it always shows the desktop 90% of the time. Trying to change it with alt+tab just 'flashes' the game window and goes back to the desktop
this can be avoided by two ways: 1 (better way) is to use this command line snipped when creating the prefix:
wine reg add "HKCU\Software\Wine\X11 Driver" /v "UseTakeFocus" /t REG_SZ /d "N"
2 (worse since you lose alt+tab or even seeing the window on the alt list): disable 'window manager controls windows' on winecfg
This seems like a common bug, but i haven't found duplicates.
