Bug ID: 53140
           Summary: Origin spawn multiple invisible Windows
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux

Origin windows seen from a Wine virtual desktop
EA Origin when opened spawns extra windows that shouldn't be seen and do
various things (they can be seen in the attachment).
The first is a digital clock that only updates when focused.
The second and the fourth one show garbage, while the third one is just a logo.
The fifth one shows "OFFLINE MODE", and clicking it actually puts you in
offline mode.
The sixth one shows a list of items, all but "Achievements" and "Download
Manager" are functional.
They can be closed with no apparent side effect. Closing Origin's main window
and then reopening it doesn't spawn them again.
These windows are normally invisible (even in the taskbar), but they can be
seen by either using Wine virtual desktop (where they can be seen in the
taskbar) or by using a tiling window manager (the behavior depends on the WM:
Sway for example tiles the extra windows while leaving the main window stacked
(though the mouse cursor may stop matching the actual position), kwin-tiling
doesn't tile the extra window but leaves extra space as if they need to be
tiled while the main windows is stacked and very slow and unresponsive, Bismuth
doesn't know how to handle this and crashes the entire desktop environment).
While I don't know if the fact that they exist in the first place is
"intended", their behavior is certainly destructive (though it can be worked
around by setting the tiled window managers to not tile Origin, it certainly
isn't something that should be done).
(Wine version is set to unknown because I tested the Lutris script with both
Wine-lutris and Wine-tkg, but not vanilla Wine).
