Hi, you are talking about a program made in Delphi or Delphi itself? If it's
about Delphi what is the version? And if it's a program made in Delphi what is
the program and is it available to download somewhere?

i have a program is made by delphi.
and if you use the kubuntu + kwin animate
then you will find the windows is all wrong.
it the foreground windows will be at the button of the window.
and i still can control it.

it seems it apply the animate on the windows which is no show or even not a
window

http://l12436.myweb.hinet.net/c3_edit.exe

my environment

kubuntu
nvidia-current
kwin with animate enable, and no animate has error.

0038FAE4   00400000  ; |hInst = 00400000
0038FAE8   00000000  ; \lParam = NULL

this is the ollydbg information that cause the error the windows focus.
the main problem is the TApplication has no window,. but it use the normal
window create.
and cause wine recognize to the normal window.

i don't know if it help you.

 You can tested by the gameMaster8 or GameMaster9. this two delphi program all
have invincible windows. In Windows, it will not be shown, but in wine, it will
shown.
and this will cause some kwin animation. problem.

The program provided via url field runs with no issues with wine. I just don't
understand the purpose of this test example. The only text that is
understandable:"Static Group", all other text is in foreign language that I
don't know or garbage.

this is the image that showing this problem.
the left windows is the main windows. 
but some windows application will create a empty windows. this empty window
will cause my windows manager work abnormal. especially to the focus of the
window. 
this is usually happened in the problem that original using delphin to develop.

this is test in wine-1.7.50

Hello TOM,

your screenshot shows 'GameMaster 8' but the download in this bug report points
to a different Chinese application which is hard to judge.

I guess 'GameMaster 8' is Chinese only too?

Is there a demo version of this? download link?
If needed provide exact instructions, such as: "run x", "click the second
button on left side" (Chinese user interface you must explain where to click).

A small Delphi example application using that exhibits the same problem would
be of course helpful too.

Regards

I will give you the program not the "gamemaster 8" but has same problem, due to
gamemaster is not a free program. 
this application has english language.
there are one thing that need to say. the empty window is almost invisible
because there no control in it. but it is still a valid window. it also capture
by the windows manager.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/858riei0ft1ymb4/bform.dll.zip

this is ResScope. also has same problem.

Also has empty window.

actually I have using wine for various application.
the empty window happened not just this application, also on other application
either.

The focus always on the empty window, not the main window.

TOM, the URL provided in the bug report doesn't have any kind of empty window,
instead the text is garbled, I've attached a screenshot.

The DLL you attached is obviously not a program executable, what do we do with
it?

Please attach more information, such as logs, a video of the problem, and the
full programs that experience this problem.

linked application in KDE

the another window is almost empty generated by this kind of program.
If your window manager did not add title to all window, it is not visible at
first glance.
but It should be appear on alt+tab, which has a empty window with not preview.

in KDE, all the window will be appear, and could control by kwin.
kwin will choose the window which first created as main window of the program,
which will always be empty window.
this cause lots of inconvenience behavior in KDE.

the text is type in Chinese, It normally glitch if you did not has font of
locate relate to it.

On my system, there is no other window created at all. I minimized all of my
windows, scoured my desktop, and also checked alt-tab, there is no 2nd window
like in your screenshot, only the one with text in it.

maybe your wm auto hide the window which has nothing inside, or your wm default
setting is show only on window on one program. this will also not show
multi-window on one program.

I suggest tested on KDE.
