Problem: In Lazarus (for Windows) on Wine, the function keys F11 and F12 don't
work correctly.

Importance: Normal.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello.

I've installed Lazarus 1.6 for Windows on Wine in Linux Mint 17.

Lazarus compiles well, although the function keys F11 and F12 don't work like
in Windows.

F11 (en Windows) makes visible and active the window with the component
inspector. The cursor goes to the window and the window changes to be on top.

F12 (en Windows) switch betwen the editor of code and the form associated to
that code. The cursor goes to the window and the window changes to be on top.

When F11 or F12 are pressed (in Lazarus on Wine), the cursor goes to the
window, although the window doesn't change to be on top. So, if there are other
windows over it, you won't be able to see the window with the cursor.

It doesn't happen in Windows. In Windows, when you press F11, the window
component inspector pass to be the window with the cursor and the window pass
to be the window on top.

It looks like a minor problem, although this limitation makes Lazarus not
usable in the practice or very unfriendly for use it.

Sorry for my basic English.

Thank you very much.

Ramón.

Does the following staged patch set help?

Hi Dmitry.
Thank you very much for your answer.
I'm a newbie, so I'm not sure about what to do with the information of your
answer.
Is this way (explained on this link: https://wiki.winehq.org/Patching ) the way
I should use your information?.
And, if so:
 - Should I use the two files?
 - Should I use the original names with the extension "patch"?.
Many thanks again.

To make the testing easier (and completely avoid the patching/compilation
steps) you could use a pre-built wine-staging package (which already includes
the aforementioned patches). Please look for instructions suitable for your
distribution at

Hi again, Dmitry.

I've installed Wine Staging with these terminal commands (found on :
https://libuntu.net/2015/08/14/wine-staging-instalacion-pruebas-y-conclusion... )

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install –install-recommends wine-staging
sudo apt-get install wine-staging-compat

And the problem has been solved.

Thank you very much for your help.

No problem, I'm glad that it worked for you. Marking this bug appropriately.

Btw, I'm not sure if there is a (significant) difference between
the pipelight and wine-staging repositories (adding Sebastian to cc:,
perhaps he could clarify things a bit), but according official instructions at
https://github.com/wine-compholio/wine-staging/wiki/Installation#-ubuntulinu...
the recommended repository for wine-staging is
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wine/wine-builds
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install --install-recommends wine-staging

I think that the problem has been solved.
I'll change the status to "Resolved" and "Fixed". 
Thanks again.

Well, the status should not be FIXED (since the unpatched plain wine doesn't
work for you), it should be either STAGED, or this bug should be marked as a
duplicate of another already staged bug.

Does the bug still occur with vanilla wine-4.5?
