Summary: Flickering in World of Warcraft when switching desktop Product: Wine Version: 0.9.41. Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-x11driver AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: le@ting.homeunix.org
When switching desktop away from a full screen World of Warcraft the screen flickers for up to a second. Switching back to World of Warcraft makes the game inresponsive for several seconds.
This is a major annoyance for me, and makes the game unplayable since I use teamspeak and firefox alot during gameplay.
I followed the git regression testing howto and identified the offending patch as:
d836a5062141dd42293ed044debbaf25f914f383 is first bad commit commit d836a5062141dd42293ed044debbaf25f914f383 Author: Vitaliy Margolen wine-patches@kievinfo.com Date: Fri Jul 20 07:15:42 2007 -0600

After reverting this patch in 0.9.50 the game doesn't freeze anymore when switching desktops.
