Summary: Steam windows (wine) appear tiled in many copies on screen Product: Wine Version: 1.2 Platform: x86 URL: http://store.steampowered.com/ OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jkohen@users.sourceforge.net
Created an attachment (id=29927) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=29927) Multiples copies
The "new" Steam UI running under Wine has a weird effect when run along with a compositing window manager. Instead of one copy of the window, multiple copies appear tiled to the right and down. Only the top-left copy is "solid" in the sense that it's the only one that receives events. Clicking on a copy sends the events to the window below (another application or the desktop). All copies reproduce the changes in the main copy.
I've reproduced this with Gnome-Shell, plain Mutter, and Metacity in compositing mode. Metacity with compositing mode disabled doesn't exhibit this problem.
I'm attaching a screeshot made with Gnome Shell. Metacity shows a different effect: instead of the extra copies, it shows filled black.
Curiously in the "expose" mode of Gnome Shell (i.e. when the desktop is zoomed out) the window appears correctly. I haven't tried similar features of the other window managers.
