           Summary: virtual desktop worked in previous wine versions, not
                    in wine 7.4 (Staging)

I'm trying to run the open source flight sims, Rowan's Mig Alley, on Ubuntu
21.10 with wine. With virtual desktop turned off, a black square occludes part
of the 3D view. Turning on virtual desktop in winecfg removes this black square
in wine 7.0 rc3 (Staging) and in previous versions of wine, such as wine 6.0.

However with wine 7.4 (Staging), turning on virtual desktop 3D view in Mig
Alley has no effect on the black square. How can I get Mig Alley 3D view
working with wine 7.4 (Staging)?

Mig Alley is open source. A linux/wine installer for the game is here:
https://github.com/sim-museum/esports-f ... igAlley.sh

The games package used by the installer can be downloaded here:

A possibly useful clue is that wine 7.4 (Staging) virtual desktop works to
remove the occluding black box in 3D view for Battle of Britain, a flight sim
that shares much the same code base as Mig Alley.

These games are open source. Linux/wine installers for the games are here:
https://github.com/sim-museum/esports-f ... igAlley.sh
https://github.com/sim-museum/esports-f ... Britain.sh

The games package can be downloaded here:

This occluding box bug does not occur in Microsoft Windows.  It appears to be
related to the layout of the menu bars in the linux desktop.  For example the
occluding box has a different shape under ubuntu 21.10 (gnome desktop) than
under xubuntu 21.10 (same, except using Xfce desktop).

Hi, sorry for the lack of response.

The links above seem to be broken; if this is still reproducible can you try
pasting them again?
