Bug ID: 48137 Summary: WeChat main window is covered by an unresponsive ghost window Product: Wine Version: 4.20 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: lilydjwg@gmail.com Distribution: ---
I thought this happened in the past but I didn't find it.
WeChat is a popular chat client that requires a phone number on registration so I omit the details on installation until someone needs it. Basically get native riched20, run the installer, and it's done.
Login into WeChat, and you'll find the main window is covered by an unresponsive ghost window. You can move away that window and the window underneath is the right, working one. The ghost window shows the initial content of the working window and will move back when you try to move the working window.
This happens with 4.20 and doesn't happen with 4.19. git bisect shows that 914b5519b1cd96f9ae19f1eec226e94af96354b9 is the first bad commit.
BTW, after this commit, the WeChat login window will be centered on one monitor. Before it was centered between my two monitors.
Another ghost that appears when playing videos inside chats happens both before and after this commit so I think it's another issue.
