Bug #: 31278
           Summary: The Longest Journey: "eye-mouth-hand" dialog only
                    appears sometimes (randomly?)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.9
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

This bug has been described by Octavian Vocu on one of his comments in another
bug report from the same game
(http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11819#c39). I'm pasting an excerpt of
his comment below because it explains exactly what's happening:

"There is still some issue related to doing actions on objects, with the mouse.
Clicking an actionable object should display the eye-mouth-hand dialog. Mouse
shows correct pointer, but simply clicking has no effect. I noticed that as you
push the left mouse button, you need to move the mouse slightly for the action
dialog to appear. Might be related to transparent windows, not sure yet."

It's certainly a different bug and deserves a different report, that's why I'm
creating this.

I've tested this on Debian Sid (i386) with wine-1.5.9. The console output is
small, so I just pasted it below; the messages look the same as every other bug
report on the game. The last three fixme's repeat a million times.

fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33eb04,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:ddraw:ddraw7_Initialize Ignoring guid
{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}.
fixme:d3d_surface:wined3d_surface_flip Ignoring flags 0x1.
fixme:d3d_surface:surface_load_location Unimplemented location SFLAG_INSYSMEM
for depth/stencil buffers.
fixme:d3d_surface:surface_unmap Depth / stencil buffer locking is not
implemented.
fixme:d3d:state_subpixel Render state WINED3D_RS_SUBPIXEL not implemented yet.
fixme:d3d:state_flushbatch Render state WINED3D_RS_FLUSHBATCH not implemented
yet.
fixme:d3d_surface:surface_load_location Unimplemented location SFLAG_INSYSMEM

fixme:d3d_surface:surface_load_location Unimplemented location SFLAG_INSYSMEM
for depth/stencil buffers.
fixme:d3d_surface:surface_unmap Depth / stencil buffer locking is not
implemented.

It might be important to notice that Octavian was probably on the right track
of fixing this with his previous patches. The game runs pretty well on 1.3.32
with three of his patches (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11819#c37);
the issue reported here is the main thing keeping it from being almost perfect.

Also, on a 1.5.9 with the same three patches (even though the characters are
invisible again) the following three messages appear when you click an object
(when the dialog should be displayed):

fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_WindowPosChanged transparent window, fixing window rect
fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_WindowPosChanged transparent window, fixing window rect
fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_WindowPosChanged transparent window, fixing window rect
