Can you reproduce this bug using a builtin wine program, such as wine notepad?
If so, what window manager are you using?
This report is with fluxbox as my window manager.
1. If I return focus to Notepad by clicking then it appears to get the keyboard focus back. On the other hand, it doesn't recolour its title bar to indicate that it has received any notification that focus has come back.
2. If I run wine with a virtual desktop then I can successfully Alt-Tab to the wine desktop and notepad gets the keyboard focus (to be precise, the fluxbox functions :NextWindow and :ClientMenu successfully pass keyboard focus to wine). It does start with the Alt key pressed (so a second press of the Alt key is necessary to release the menu selector for typing to actually work), but that's probably a fluxbox quirk.
So far so good.
However, the coloured title bar on notepad does *not* update correctly to show that it has received focus, it remains grey (normally indicating unselected). In fact, it doesn't even colour its title bar on startup.
3. I seem to have HKCK/Software/Wine/X11 Driver/Managed == "N" by default. In this state running notepad without a virtual desktop makes notepad invisible to the desktop manager -- very confusing, but presumably that's the point of this setting; don't know how it got set, though.
So lots of quirks to trip me up (my first draft of this note was that it's still broken: the sticky Alt and unmanaged windows were puzzles), but at the moment this is looking good.
I'll repeat the test with XFCE and a live game and report back.
