Bug ID: 52589
           Summary: Broken menu drawing in VCL apps when using styles
           Product: Wine
           Version: 7.2
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]

      Distribution: ---

Recently I got the chance to beta test the upcoming version 5 of popular data
recovery tool IsoBuster (www.isobuster.com/) on wine. The new version
introcuces the option to use GUI styles using the Visual Component Library
(VCL) by Embarcadero. While the app still works with themes I noticed a few
problems which only show on wine:

1. Opening a second menu from the menu band does not close a previously open
menu, meaning multiple menus are shown at the same time and draw on top of each
other
2. Menu items in the opened menu lose styling as soon as the mouse touches them

These problems only show when the new styling is active.

Test case app

Attached you will fine the test case app used for the screencast. It was
created and provided by the developer of IsoBuster.

FWIW it can be assumed that this problem affects / will affect any app using
VCL styling.

Confirmed. Could you get the developer to share the source code for the test
case app? It would be much easier with the source code available.

It doesn't seem to be related to uxtheme support. The app seems to be drawing
the controls by itself.

That is correct.  But it works well on all Windows versions tested (XP up to
W11). Question is who or what is not sending or responding to what messages.

Source of the test app

The code is truly minimal.  All this is handled by VCL

I also reported the issue with Embarcadero, where it was escalated to
development.  However the lead project manager commented that Wine is not
officially supported. Which, to me, reads as 'we're not going to look at this
right now'.  They have *plenty* of other bugs to sort out.
So, I fear it will be up to the good people @ Wine to figure out what is going
on.
If in debug mode you can see an obvious mistake being made, do let me know and
I'll update the bug reported @ Embarcadero.
