Bug ID: 42590 Summary: window menus bigger than entire screen Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: quequotion@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 57524 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=57524 regedit is affected; can't get a screenshot of what happens when a menu is clicked (they dissapear during screenshots!)
Something has gone horribly wrong with window rendering in wine. The menus across the top of windows are vertically enourmous, possibly stretching infinitely beyond the screen.
They can still be clicked on, and the text of the menu options will appear in a very normal font size near the top of the window and the menu will be highlighted in a colum that goes all the way from the top of the window to the bottom.
I've tried to stretch the windows out to find the bottom of the exanse but it seems to just go on forever.
I really don't want to delete my entire wine installation and start over (again)
Is there anything that can be done?

--- Comment #1 from Bruno Jesus 00cpxxx@gmail.com --- Wine version? It started happening after a Wine update?
To get wine version use the console and type "wine --version".

Does it happen with a clean wineprefix? Maybe some setting that is messed up?
I believe it is a theme setting that is messed up. This started after checking out some theme optoins in winecfg (just going through the menus I noticed odd things like one selection box getting smaller each click, even when the clicks were in other places--please do not get distracted by that statement I am confident fixing that will not fix this).
Anyone know where or how to modify the size of the menu bar?
I'm sure it would disappear with a clean prefix, but my prefix is not a trivial thing. I am not willing to start over from scratch; I insist on salvaging my currently installed and configured programs (there's no gurantee I could ever get it back to the state it was in--starting over with a new prefix is not an acceptable way to resolve this kind of problem).

Nothing in particular is output.
I resolved this myself, by editing ~/.wine/user.reg in a text editor (gedit).
In the section [Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics] there are settings for "MenuHeight" and "MenuWidth" which had both been set to "-384700" (not infinite, just huge).
For now I've set them both to twenty
"MenuHeight"="-20" "MenuWidth"="-20"
Other settings may have been affected, SmCaptionWidth is set very large:
"SmCaptionWidth"="-364026"
I'm not sure what an SmCaption is, so I'm leaving it alone for now.
I am concerned that this appeared to be caused by adjusting the theme settings in winecfg, but I don't think it can be pinned down to a specific bug in the code.
I have wine 2.3 (x86_64) installed in archlinux, but this started with the previous version released in archlinux (2.2?).

--- Comment #6 from Que Quotion quequotion@gmail.com --- I'm going to mark this resolved and invalid myself. I am not sure if it represents a bug in winecfg or not. I have one theme installed, Windows Gnome, and I was toggling that on and off as well as clicking through other settings when things started to get weird. It could be a problem with the theme, a proglem with winecfg, or a problem between winecfg and setting the registry values. Further testing might yeild some clarity, but I am not really interested in risking my registry files.
