Bug ID: 57014 Summary: WINE may have turned into a system killer Product: Wine Version: 9.0 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: wine_bugzilla@sctb.ch Distribution: ---
1. I use a WIN32 text editor, PFE, which I run under WINE.
2. There has always been a bug in that after closing the laptop lid and then opening it again (which does not even send the laptop to sleep, but will turn the screen off), all PFE windows are now almost complete off-screen, with only the very bottom-right corner of the PFE window being visible in the very top-left corner of the screen.
3. To get out of this, I go to the running-applications bar (Debian, XFCE), right click on PFE, select "move" and then I can drag the window, and I put it back where I can see it.
4. I also play Vanilla WoW, 32 bit client. Recently, last month or so, a new bug has turned up, in that at busy times, occasionally, the client will freeze up *graphically*. Closing the laptop lid, and opening it again, fixes the freeze up.
5. For WoW, unlike PFE, closing the lid simply makes the WoW client minimize, so I can return to the game by clicking on its icon in the running-applications bar.
6. Now the kicker - PFE sometimes opens up a Yes/No dialog. It's modal. PFE had just opened such a dialog when the screen froze up, as it does with WoW. I closed the lid and opened it again - now PFE is as usual off-screen way up to the top-left.
7. Only problem now is all mouse clicks and key presses no longer have any effect. My guess is the modal dialog is absorbing them - but I can't see it to operate it correctly, and I can't right click on "Move" to drag PFE back on screen, and the dialog has no icon of its own in the running-applications bar, so I can't reach it.
In the end, I had to hard reboot via the power button.
