[Bug 19687] New: Half-Life engine game window starts without focus

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19687

Summary: Half-Life engine game window starts without focus
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.27
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

When I launch any game that is based on Half-Life 1 (Half-Life, Counterstrike,
Condition Zero, etc), the window starts without being active.  In order to give
it keyboard input I must highlight the window's title bar by clicking on it. 
This leads to several awkward issues.

Because the window is nevertheless able to capture mouse movements, I cannot
use the mouse to click on the title bar of the window.  Also, wmctrl cannot
recognize the existence of a wine-created window.  Alt-tab does not recognize a
wine window either.I have managed to find a very awkward workaround.  But the
window should start active.  Especially if it's fullscreen.

This is your friendly reminder  that there has been no bug activity for a year.
Is this still an issue in current (1.3.2 or newer) wine?

I have spent considerable time on IRC with the source code trying to track down
the various bugs I was getting. It appears that they are entirely due to
Ubuntu's Intel video drivers, rather than Wine. The Intel video drivers for
Ubuntu have since improved enormously.

On both Ubuntu and OS X, I confirm that the bug is gone.

Bug should be closed as invalid then.

Feel free to file a bug on launchpad about the intel drivers.

The Intel drivers are undergoing very active development, and I have
contributed to that as much as I can.  Yes, I think this bug is invalid.  And
in any case the issue is fixed.
