Bug #: 34209 Summary: fullscreen apps won't switch back to resolution after command-tabbing on OS X Product: Wine Version: 1.6 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Mac OS X Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: winemac.drv AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jjheik@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified
Fullscreen games which change resolution do not switch back to correct resolution after being tabbed out. They work correctly until the user command-tabs out to another application.
I've had this problem with both Both The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and the freeware game DX Ball 2, which are both DirectX games. I'm running Mac OS X 10.8.4. I have installed both Wine 1.6.0 and the development 1.7.0 from Macports and both have this problem with the native Mac driver.
When switching back, the screen remains at maximum resolution and the apps run in the upper-left corner of the screen and neither the menu bar or dock are hidden.
