Bug ID: 52814
           Summary: Transparent Window Trapping Mouse Events
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]

      Distribution: ---

I have a Windows program that shows a transparent window over other
applications and this transparent window does not trap mouse events over other
applications.

When I run this program on Ubuntu 20.04 using Wine 5.0, the transparent window
does not trap mouse events over its own main application window, but it does
trap mouse events over other application windows, which it should not do.

Is that the version you're using? Have you tried a newer version?

I am now using Wine 7.0 stable and Ubuntu 22.04 with the same problem. Wine is
still not letting mouse clicks fall through a transparent window to underlying
Linux programs. I have the Wine desktop mode turned off.

You can test this by downloading eTrack.exe from https://etrack.click

If you download eTrack.exe, just click the show button at the bottom and a
transparent window will appear that you cannot click through to other programs
like you can in Windows. The Help page has a link to the 64 bit version for
Mac.
