[Bug 16567] New: moving mouse outside the wine virtual desktop causes crash in FastBltNoTrans()

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16567

Summary: moving mouse outside the wine virtual desktop causes
                    crash in FastBltNoTrans()
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Installed the game "Nancy Drew: Stay Tuned For Danger".  Installation and game
start seems to work well.  But the mouse icon is customized for the game, and
changes depending on whether there is an object under the mouse with which you
can interact.

If at any point during the game the mouse is moved outside the wine virtual
dekstop, the game immediately crashes with the following Windows dialog window:

-----------------------
FastBltNoTrans() - err ret = 88760096, pDescription = Dirty Rect Fast Blt,
rSrcRect: t=158, b=198, l=-5, r=25, dwDestX=-5, dwDestY=158 - DDERR_INVALIDRECT
- Rectangle provided was invalid.
-----------------------

I added it to AppDB here:

I also have an earlier forum posting here with several other details:

Please try with 1.1.10.

As I was asked, upgraded to Wine 1.1.10.  Problem is solved if the mouse goes
off the virtual desktop to the right or bottom of the screen.

But problem (crash) still exists if the mouse goes off the Wine virtual desktop
to the left or the top.  Dialog window is the same, except for the coordinates:

--------------------
Left-side-crash:

FastBltNoTrasn() - err ret=88760096, pDescription=Dirty Rect Fast Blt,
rSrcRect: t=299, b=339, l=-28, r=2, dwDestX=-28, dwDestY=299 -
DDERR_INVALIDRECT - Rectangle provided was invalid.
--------------------

Top-side-crash:

FastBltNoTrans() - err ret=88760096, pDescription=Dirty Rect Fast Blt,
rSrcRect: t=-1, b=39, l=341, r=371, dwDestX=341, dwDestY=-1 - DDERR_INVALIDRECT
- Rectangle provided was invalid.
--------------------

To be more precise, on the bottom and right side of the game window, the
captured Windows mouse cursor cannot "leave" the window.  If I go past the
border, the Windows mouse cursor remains trapped at the edge of the window
while the linux X mouse cursor re-appears for me to interact with other X
applications.

This looks impressive, and seems to work great for the bottom and right border.

But, the same is not true with either the left border or top borders.  The
mouse is not limited by the window border, and if I go too far the game
immediately crashes.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.24 or newer) wine?

I've not seen this crash, but it's no wonder if some games crash when the mouse
position goes negative.

There's a related problem with border scrolling. Many games check for mouse
coordinates to detect screen edges (left: x=0; top: y=0; right: x=w-1; bottom:
y=h-1). Scrolling is next to impossible, because the "screen edge" is one pixel
wide.

It would be great if the mouse position was snapped to the desktop edge, like
so:
x = max(0, min(x, w - 1));
y = max(0, min(y, h - 1));

If the current behaviour is useful or necessary for some applications, this
should probably be configurable in the registry. Or this could depend on
whether there's a full-screen application on the virtual desktop; I'm quite
sure they don't expect the mouse to leave the application window.

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 1 year.
Is this still an issue in current (1.3.29 or newer) wine?

This is still an issue. I'm using 32-bit wine-1.5.14 in Fedora 14 x86_64. It
works fine in full screen mode.

I can confirm that "Nancy Drew Secrets Can Kill" and "Nancy Drew Stay Tuned for
Danger" both exhibit the same problem. Both are old versions (not the
remastered).

The bug#21807 may be another Nancy Drew game with the same problem, so it could
be related only to Nancy Drew series.

I wonder if there is a way to not post any mouse events to wine game when it
goes off the wine desktop.

I can confirm this issue still occurs in Wine 1.6 (64-bit) for the game "Nancy
Drew: Curse of Blackmoor Manor". Up & left break, down & right don't.

I should note that I don't always get the FastBltNoTrans() dialog, sometimes
it's instead the standard "X has encountered a problem and needs to close"
dialog. I *think* the difference is caused by "mouse goes beyond virtual
desktop window before being read again" (FastBltNoTrans dialog) vs. "mouse on
WM decorations before being read again" (Standard dialog). I don't know if the
standard dialog is caused by the same issue as the more specialized one.

The kicker is that the mouse (both the drawn one and thus your actual one)
starts off in the top-left corner of the screen on the main menu, so making the
smallest of wrong moves will end your game. Having the window in the top-left
corner doesn't help much then, considering both this and the window
decorations.

I've seen this mouse relocation thing occur on the "new games" screen (where
you choose the difficulty) as well. It tends to become an issue when you would
normally move your mouse upward or leftward after getting to a screen (notably,
after clicking "MENU" in-game to get to the main menu).

Interestingly, this problem only occurs on screens that relocate the mouse.
During the actual game, for instance, no error occurs for moving the mouse
out-of-bounds in any direction. I hope this last bit helps narrow it down quite
a bit.

I was unable to use the game's windowed mode (accessible from Game.ini at
least) to test further, but presumably these issues don't happen there.

Let me know if you need to see additional logs from my end.

Is this still an issue in current (1.7.36 or newer) wine? If so, please attach
terminal output.

Is there any download that could replicate the issue? Or could someone retest?

I can confirm that this bug is still valid for Wine 2.11.

I installed Nancy Drew: Treasure in the Royal Tower, and enabled the virtual
desktop.  When moving the mouse off the top or left edge of the window, I
either get the "FastBltNoTrans" error, or the "this program has encountered a
problem and needs to close" dialog, both resulting in the game closing.  No
crash when moving off the bottom or right edge, and the cursor is relinquished
to the OS as expected.

I'd also like to note that I haven't had much success with running the game
fullscreen; when I've tried this it usually ends up freezing the entire desktop
and I have to kill the process from a TTY or an SSH session.  Thus, enabling
the virtual desktop is my only option at present.

Does the bug still occur with vanilla wine-6.21?
