Bug ID: 55774
           Summary: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri: invisible mouse pointer
           Product: Wine
           Version: 8.11
          Hardware: x86-64
               URL: https://archive.org/details/SidMeiersAlphaCentauriDemo
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download, regression
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: winex11.drv
          Assignee: [e-mail]

   Regression SHA1: 9f8d9eef216d4ede3b53d3caab222ad8f896f10b
      Distribution: ---

Tested with the GOG.com version but can also be reproduced in the original
demo.
The mouse pointer is working (buttons are clickable) it is just invisible.
Occurs in fullscreen and virtual desktop mode.

The problem is present since Wine-8.11 and the result of the regression test:

winex11: Set the window cursor immediately in SetCursor.

Instead of synchronizing the cursor on mouse changes. The SetCursor call
    should now only be made when cursor or window handle have changed.

md5: 0cb42fdc0195dfc638830ddac90f48c3
Opening the demo shows a black screen with 2 empty rectangles: the left one is
starting the game.

Still present in wine-8.17-190-g8943fcbca49

Unfortunately the patch doesn't fix the bug in SMAC.

There is a workaround: disabling the opening movie in Alpha Centauri.ini so
that the game loads the menu directly, makes the problem go away.

[Alpha Centauri]
DisableOpeningMovie=1

I'm using: 
Xorg 21.1.8
Xfce 4.18 with Xfwm as the window manager
