Bug ID: 40167
           Summary: theWord: popup doesn't work correctly after first
                    Shift-MouseOver
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
               URL: http://www.theword.net/files/setup/getmulti.php/en-sma
                    ll
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: Ubuntu

bug is present in all versions of wine 1.1.14 through 1.9.3

MouseOver a hyperlink (cross-reference, commentary, etc.) displays a popup up
with the content of whatever is linked. Instruction at bottom of popup says:
Press SHIFT key and move mouse over popup to keep visible. Works properly the
first time only. The only way to keep subsequent popups visible is to press
SHIFT before MouseOver.

To reproduce:
1. MouseOver a hyperlink. Popup displays with standard background until the
mouse is moved off the link, then it disappears.
2. MouseOver a hyperlink, press SHIFT and move the mouse over the popup. Popup
displays with blue gradient background until the mouse is moved off the popup.
3. MouseOver a hyperlink. Popup flashes with blue gradient background and
disappears unless it has a vertical scrollbar. If it has a scrollbar, the popup
displays and functions as if SHIFT had been pressed.

Expected behavior:
1. MouseOver a hyperlink. Popup displays with standard background until the
mouse is moved off the link, then it disappears.
2. MouseOver a hyperlink, press SHIFT and move the mouse over the popup. Popup
displays with blue gradient background until the mouse is moved off the popup.
3. MouseOver a hyperlink. Popup displays with standard background until the
mouse is moved off the link, then it disappears.

I can confirm this bug has existed for years in all the different versions of
Wine I've used with both Ubuntu and Kubuntu (currently Kubuntu 14.04 and Wine
1.6.2).

The behaviour of the mouse-over popups changes after Shift+Mouse-over is
applied once. The subsequent behaviour of the popups is inconsistent for me,
sometimes they popup and disappear immediately; sometimes the popup works as
before Shift was applied (except that I can continue to place the mouse in the
popup window).

Bug is still present in v3.0rc5 when running KDE Plasma 5. MouseOver in The
Word functions as expected with IceWM instead of Plasma.

Found a work-around: create a window rule.
Window menu / More Actions / Configure Special Application Settings
Select Add Properties, scroll down to Focus Stealing Prevention and add it.
Set both Force and Extreme.
Shift-MouseOver works as expected.
