Bug ID: 47488 Summary: Keyboard insertion point interference when running Wine app Product: Wine Version: 4.0.1 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: scw189@cox.net Distribution: ---
When running a Wine app (Legacy9, genealogy program) in the background and then trying to type anything with a word processor or do a Google search, it is difficult to enter text because the insertion point character keeps disappearing after 2-5 second. Then you have to click again in the text field to reset the insertion point and try to type a few characters before it disappears again. This issue stops as soon as the Wine application is terminated. Mouse operation does not seem to be affected, just keyboard character input is impaired because the insertion point is continually being lost.
Cannot find any messages or error codes being asserted and system does not 'crash'.
OS is Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon with all updates applied. Computer is Dell Dimension E521 with 64bit dual core Athlon CPU, 6gb memory.
