Bug #: 30924
           Summary: Uncapture Mouse in Fullscreen Windows
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org
        ReportedBy: songandsilence27@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified
In winecfg, there is an option, under the Graphics tab to automatically capture
the mouse in fullscreen windows.
When using the emulated virtual desktop, certain programs freezing, crashing,
etc., can cause the mouse to stay within the emulated virtual desktop. Killing
wine or wineserver causes the mouse to stay within the confines of the virtual
desktop, rendering the (actual, X11) desktop useless. The Virtual desktop
window will grey out, becoming unresponsive to any and all input meant to close
it, including keystrokes such as ALT+F4 and clicking the "close" button.
Opening a X11-managed window (e.g., a terminal emulator) inside of the window
area will allow keyboard input, and depending on placement, can free the mouse
from the virtual desktop window, however, mouse clicks are not functioning in
other X11 windows, panels, etc.
Killing and restarting the X server via CTRL+ALT+Bksp or switching to a second
Virtual Console (e.g., tty2) and issuing "pkill X; startx" will temporarily
solve the issue (unless the offending program is run and freezes/crashes
again).
There should be a key combination to release the mouse back to the X11 desktop
environment.
