           Summary: IL-2 Sturmovik under wine -> mouse not working
           Product: Wine
           Version: 2.1
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux

This is a clone of a very old bug, that I encountered in fresh versions of
Wine.

I ran IL2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battle (the 2003 game from UbiSoft) ; made isos
from the original CDs ; mounted and setup.exeED ok

The problem is when launching the game. The mouse is not properly working :

-with Staging the mouse just not react, no move
-with Devel (currently 2.1) the mouse just move a few pixels away then freezes.

The game is unusable then.

Vanilla Ubuntu 16.04.1 with Wine from the WineHQ ppa

Tried to steal / give back focus to the game window, no effect.

Thanks,

here's the old bug report:
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #8172 +++

Fresh install of Ubuntu Feisty with wine 0.9.35 (installed through Automatix2).
Tried running IL-2 Sturmovik (1946) under wine, it starts, but the mouse
pointer
does not move. The game does respond to key inputs, so its not frozen. Console
shows nothing special.

I tried running the game full screen, windowed, I tried some tricks like alt
tabbing in and out, sending the window to another viewpoint, changing mouse
settings in winecgf nothing cures it. It worked fine with ubuntu Edgy and wine
0.9.30.

In case it matters, I use a wireless USB logitech MX Revolution mouse, with no
special configuration or tweaking. The same problem occurs when I connect a
wired Logitech MX500.

It might be interesting to note such mouse behaviour under windows is also a
known issue when IL2 looses focus, and requires one to alt tab in and out of
the
game to regain a working mouse pointer. I suspect this problem should be
reproducable on the very old IL2 demo, downloadable here:

The demo works for me as well ;

There is several games in the IL-2 series - but basically each one is almost
the same game ; just some additional airplanes, missions and (dynamic) campaign
have been added with the different versions

The original bug report was about the third one, "IL2 1946", which is affected
My own bug report is about the second one, "IL2 Forgotten Battle", which is
affected too

It seems that the original IL2 Sturmovik, -the first one-, for which a demo is
available online, does not have the issue.

Does the bug still occur with wine-8.7?
