Bug ID: 57808
           Summary: crash when switching linux virtual consoles:
                    XI_BadDevice
           Product: Wine-staging
           Version: 9.4
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
                CC: [e-mail], [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

Whenever I switch away from the current virtual console on linux (using
Control+Alt+F2 etc.) wine processes crash with output like this:

X Error of failed request:  XI_BadDevice (invalid Device parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  131 (XInputExtension)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_OpenDevice)
  Device id in failed request: 0xXXXXXXX
  Serial number of failed request:  251
  Current serial number in output stream:  251
X Error of failed request:  XI_BadDevice (invalid Device parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  131 (XInputExtension)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_OpenDevice)
  Device id in failed request: 0xXXX
  Serial number of failed request:  222
  Current serial number in output stream:  222

(I have replaced the actual device IDs with X characters above.)

As far as I have seen, it affects all applications. Even winecfg crashes on VC
switch.

The problem occurs only in wine-staging; not in wine-devel or wine-stable.
The problem is present in versions 9.4, 9.8, 10.0, and presumably all versions
in between.
The problem is not present in version 9.3.
Tested with official debian builds from dl.winehq.org.

This looks similar to bug 57123. I opened a new report instead of commenting in
that one because in my case, no devices are unplugged or plugged in to cause
the crash, and because I have no easy way to test that scenario.
