Summary: Popup menus disappear under some window managers Product: Wine Version: 20041019 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-x11driver AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: goeran@uddeborg.se
Popup menus, like the ones the right mouse button is typically opening, disappear immediately under some window managers but not others.
As a simple test case, I start "wine notepad", and in the text area click the right mouse button. If I'm running a Gnome environment, using metacity as a window manager, I get the menu on the screen. If I am using good old twm, the menu just flashes briefly, apparently when I RELEASE the button. It is not possible to select anything in the menu.
Note this is just an illustrating test case. I see the problem in other applications too, and it appears in other window environments. Notepad, Gnome, and twm seemed to be a simple test case.
