[Bug 27392] New: Lemmix game (lemmings clone) - mouse pointer no longer works properly

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27392

Summary: Lemmix game (lemmings clone) - mouse pointer no longer
                    works properly
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.21
          Platform: x86-64
               URL: http://www.ericenzwaan.nl/eric/lemmings/lemmix.htm
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

This lemmings clone used to work very well in Wine.  Now the mouse pointer is
unusable in almost all the levels.  It does not even work on the second level
of "Fun".

I don't know which version of Wine it used to work in.  Regression?

Also having similar problems with the mouse in the Ballistic/Paddle game - the
mouse appears and disappears, making it unplayable:

http://www.classicdosgames.com/game/Ballistic.html

Instead of creating a separate bug report about the same issue, I think it's
sensible to report this mouse issue on this game as well as Lemmix.

Both games worked fine in an older version of Wine.  I have e-mailed
CodeWeavers several times asking if Wine and CrossOver could allow certain
programs to run under older versions of Wine when regressions occur.

Probably a dupe of bug 27156.

I can't reproduce this, it works fine here.

Almost fixed - the mouse pointer is now working in the levels - but if you have
to quit a level e.g. you "nuke" all the lemmings lol, at the bottom of the next
screen it says that you can use the left mouse button to retry the level or the
right mouse button to return to the menu, but sometimes clicking the left or
right mouse button here does nothing.  It doesn't always do this, but sometimes
it does.  If you play this for long enough you may notice this problem occurs;
it never occurred when using older versions of Wine.

I'm pleased to say this game otherwise works brilliantly in Wine.  Thank you
for your hard work. :)

UPDATE.

This is tricky to describe and odd, but I've reproduced it again just now...

About pressing the "left" and "right" mouse buttons: between levels you get
them same options.  I find after completing 3 levels in a row and you want to
proceed to the 4th level by pressing the "left" mouse button, you can't click
on either left or right mouse buttons.  But if you come out of Lemmix (in
Ubuntu, by holding CTRL then pressing Tab), then go back into Lemmix, the mouse
buttons work again.

Strange!

ANOTHER WAY TO REPRODUCE THIS:

The left and right mouse buttons can stop working - after a level - if you do
this: During gameplay, pressing spacebar on the keyboard a few times will
effectively "fast forward" a level to complete it much quicker - but then the
mouse buttons can stop working...

If you successfully finish a level, the bottom of the screen says to use the
left and right mouse buttons; pressing the left mouse button proceeds to the
next level, the right mouse button quits to the main menu.  It is here that the
mouse buttons can stop working, unless you hold <CTRL> and press <Tab> key to
come out of Lemmix and then switch back to Lemmix.

The title of this bug is wrong.  The mouse pointer does work in the game - it
did stop working for a time then worked again in a newer version of Wine.

The only minor glitch affecting the mouse is the left and right mouse buttons
sometimes stop working between levels.  But pressing <Alt> and <Tab> fixes this
(apologies earlier for saying Ctrl and Tab - it's Alt and Tab).

Should I open a new bug?

I can't confirm. I tried the space-bar trick, nuke tip, but i was always able
to use left or rigtt mouse button upon level completion. Tested and works
under:
 * 1.3.21, 1.3.25

I filled up bug 27915 for crash under 1.3.25-99-g093547e.

It looks like this problem is now fixed. :)

I have Wine 1.3.25 installed and I can't reproduce this problem anymore.
Thanks for your hard work.

Marking as "RESOLVED" and "FIXED".

I can't reproduce the mouse problems anymore.  It may happen very rarely now,
but I've played 20 levels and not had any problems with the mouse.
