Bug ID: 38786 Summary: An EXE that only creates a WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW window isn't given focus (or returned focus). Product: Wine Version: 1.7.38 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: jasonwinter@hotmail.com Distribution: ---
It seems only WS_EX_APPWINDOW windows are given focus by Wine on application startup (I.E. windows that have a taskbar button).
Windows that do not appear in the taskbar are not given focus by Wine when an application is started. Additionally, if the user gives focus to that window using the mouse, things like MessageBox (I.E. another window that takes focus) do not return focus to a tool-window that last had focus. Instead, focus is only returned to the last window which had focus and also has a taskbar button.
