Bug ID: 39703
           Summary: Switching from a Windows app to an OS X app and then
                    back causes the spinning ball of death
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Mac OS X
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]

Sometime after 1.6.2_4 a bug was introduced in Wine that causes any Windows
application under Wine to crash with the spinning ball of death if you switch
to an OS X application and then return to the Windows application under Wine.

Example:

1.  Open Notepad++
2.  Switch to an OS X application (say TextEdit or Chrome)
3.  Copy some text to the clipboard
4.  Switch back to Notepad++
5.  Encounter the spinning ball of death

However, if you just switched to an OS X application and then switched back
without interacting with the clipboard, there is still a 50/50 chance you will
encounter the spinning ball of death.

Once you have the spinning ball of death you have to force quite out of Wine.

Wine 1.6.x does not exhibit this bug.

Can you collect a sample report of the stuck Wine process when this happens?

* Launch Activity Monitor
* Search for the "(not responding)" Wine process and select it
* From the View menu, select Sample Process
* When the sample is ready, save it to file
* Attach that file to this bug

Thanks!

Actually, is there any chance that you were switching desktop spaces (including
to or from full-screen apps) when this happened?  If so, this is probably the
same as bug 39705.

Assuming duplicate, please reopen if you can still reproduce in Wine 1.8 or
later.
