Bug #: 29536
           Summary: Popup window shadows sometimes rendered all-black with
                    Microsoft winhlp32
           Product: Wine

          Priority: P2

FACTS.HLP compressed with bzip2

This bug shows up when running Microsoft winhlp32.exe under Wine. I tested the
versions from Windows 98 and XP.

Some help files contain links which when clicked open a pop-up box. The box has
a semi-transparent shadow effect to the right and below, achieved by rendering
alternate pixels of the shadow area black.

In Wine, sometimes the shadow is rendered entirely in black. Whether it's
rendered correctly or in black doesn't seem to be consistent; you can click a
popup link many times and sometimes the shadow is rendered correctly, other
times in black. Or on a page with multiple popup links, clicking on different
links gives a different result.

Try viewing the attached FACTS.HLP in Microsoft winhlp32 under Wine. Various
pages of that help file have popup links.

I can't reproduce this with XP winhlp32. Tested in wine-1.3.36-200-g0b9948e
several times in different pages with and without virtual desktop. I'm using
gnome.
 What window manager are you using?

I'm testing with Wine 1.3.36 on Lubuntu 11.10 x86-64 which uses Openbox.
Currently using Nvidia driver version 280.13.

For me, the problem seems more likely to show up when clicking many times
quickly on a popup link. Moving the main winhlp32 window then clicking on
various different popup links may also help.

Microsoft winhlp32.exe running under Wine showing black drop shadow

This bug is still present in Wine 1.5.29. In fact it seems worse than before
because drop-shadows are always rendered in black. See the attached
screenshots.

I also saw the problem testing with a Lubuntu 12.10 VirtualBox VM, which
suggests the problem isn't caused by the Nvidia binary driver, and with a
Xubuntu 13.04 VM, which suggests the problem isn't caused by Openbox (Xubuntu
uses xfwm4 for its window manager).

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for over a
year. Is this still an issue in current (1.7.37 or newer) wine? If so, please
attach the terminal output in 1.7.37 (see http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log).
