Bug ID: 58256 Summary: In wayland mode, with rotated screen, wine thinks that screen width is screen height and viceversa Product: Wine Version: 10.7 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: scallegari@arces.unibo.it Distribution: ---
I am trying to use wine in wayland mode by unsetting DISPLAY. I know that it is still experimental, but on most of my systems works well enough and gives me much better scaling on HiDPI.
There is one exception I have a tablet/convertible where "by default" the screen is vertical. So to use it as a laptop, I need to use screen rotation. With screen rotation, wayland mode in wine breaks badly.
I think that the issue is that wine starts swapping screen height and width.
Let me give you an example. I am trying to run "LTspice" under wine. If I keep the window "small" and on the left part of the screen, everything is fine. If I maximize the window, things break on the right part of the window (the one exceeding the boundary where the x coordinate is equal to the screen height, namely the width of the unrotated screen). Furthermore, if I try to resize the window by dragging the right border, I cannot go beyond that boundary.
I hope that this explanation is clear enough.
