That's how it's supposed to work. mouse_event() is a user32 API and works *only* for Windows applications running under Wine.
This constraint seems arbitrary (given the simple solution) and limiting Wine's functionality and the ability to integrate Windows application with the environment. It is also inconsistent with they way mouse_event() currently works because the mouse pointer is allowed to move outside of Windows applications running under Wine.
There is at least one more request for this functionality (bug 7032).
What is the downside to allowing this functionality?
