[Bug 30587] New: Office 2007 apps (Word, Powerpoint) cannot be maximized after being unmaximized by window manager

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30587

Bug #: 30587
           Summary: Office 2007 apps (Word, Powerpoint) cannot be
                    maximized after being unmaximized by window manager
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.3
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

Tested with Wine 1.5.3, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x64 from Wine PPA Package version
1.5.3-0ubuntu1~ppa1~precise4+pulse17.

To reproduce:
1. Open Word 2007 or Powerpoint 2007
2. Maximize the window using the Word/Powerpoint maximize button in the
upper-right corner.
3. Unmaximize using the same button
4. Maximize the window again using the same button
5. Unmaximize the window using the window manager (e.g. in the unity global
menu use the unmaximize button, or in Gnome's window list, right click and
choose unmaximize)
6. Window cannot be maximized anymore with the maximize button.

Also, doing the same but swapping the office button with the wm button in all
steps results in a window that can't be unmaximized.

On KDE the maximize button does become functional again if, after step 6, you
maximize the window through the window manager.

> From my experience, it happens only when using KDE.

To get Word, Excel and Powerpoint working fine regarding windows states, I did
the following :
   Start System Settings
   Select Window Behaviour
   Select Window Rules
   Click "New..." to create a new Window Rules
   Enter the description
   Window Class: Regular Expression. I use
        .*\b(winword.exe|excel.exe|powerpnt.exe)\b.*
   Check "Match whole window class"
   Check on tab "Size & Position"
   Check "Full screen": value Forced, No
   Check "Ignore Requested Geometry": value Forced, Yes

Then if you notice that, when moving shapes in Powerpoint, you do not see them
as you should:
   Click in "Window matching" tab (this the first tab)
   In "Window types": Normal, Dialog, Utility, Dock (panel), Toolbar, 
        Torn-off Menu, Splash Screen, Desktop, Unmanaged, Standalone Menubar.
   In "Window title": value Substring Match = Microsoft

I am using KDE 4.10.5 at the moment but this also did the trick with the newer
versions I previously run in Manajaro.

Dear [e-mail], this does happen on LXDE and XFCE as well.

Your suggested solution does not address the weird window behaviour that kicks
in when you restore a previously maximized window after minimizing it. The
window would restore itself as unmaximized, yet it would keep `thinking` it was
maximized. You'd need a few extra clicks on the maximize button to fix this.
The only way to overcome this is to set a few extra geometry override options:

Initial placement -- Maximizing.
Horizontally maximized -- Force, No.
Vertically maximized -- Force, No.

Prior to applying these options, make sure all of your Office apps start with
their windows NOT maximized (this state is stored in the registry)

You should get full-screen Office windows that can't be resized, but can be
moved across the screen and correctly minimized and restored.

At least in Office 2010, another rule should be set to prevent the
Copy-Paste-Cut buttons from disappearing from the right-click context dialogue
the next moment after you hover your mouse button over them.

Window Class: Regular Expression
.*\b(winword.exe|excel.exe|powerpnt.exe|winword.exe|powerpnt.exe|excel.exe)\b.*

Match whole window class: Yes

Window type: Dialogue

Then switch to the last tab (Appearance & Fixes) and set the focus loss
prevention to the _HIGHEST_ available level.

Now the Cut, Copy and Paste buttons won't fade away when you hover over them,
but the rest of the dialogue will (after placing the cursor over one of the
buttons for more than a second)

My problem is reproduced on KDE5 5.11.5 and on KDE4 4.14.34. If you click
"restore" the MS Office 2010 window, then after that it is impossible to
maximize or move.

I'm sorry for my english. :)

I just have to join in here. Unfortunately, this problem also affects GNOME.

I tested this in Debian 9 with the latest wine backports (Wine 4.0). AFAIK,
there is no way to set special window rules in GNOME, or are there?
