Summary: winetest: can hardly type anything into the tag/email
                    input forms
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.39
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org
        ReportedBy: hoehle@users.sourceforge.net
Hi,
the new email address requester is a pain to use because there's no cursor and,
unlike the tag input form, it won't receive the input I type to the keyboard.
So the user becomes desperate about how to be able to start the tests!
It's only after I click "start" (after the error requester) that the requester
shows a reaction to mouse clicks: although no cursor appears, I'm now able to
type in some text.
Actually, this behaviour is almost exeactly that of the tag input requester.
The only difference is that this one typically echoes what I type immediately
after starting Wine. Sometimes no input is accepted there either. Well, its
behaviour appears as broken as the other input requester, but in the past, this
was somehow less of an annoyance: sometimes it accepts input, sometimes not.
What is noteworthy is that the window titles do not show the blue colour
typical of activated windows. They stay grey instead. They stay grey even when
I move the requester to some other location.
Sometimes (with the tag input requester), it echoes my input even though the
title bar is grey.
A cursor appears in rare cases only.
Often enough, the requester appears with a blue color title bar, accept text
yet display no cursor.
A (mostly?) reproduceable way to activate the window and make the cursor appear
is to click "start" with an empty field. The error requester will appear with
the regular blue title bar. Afterwards, the input requester will appear in blue
as well, and a cursor appear after I click into the text entry form.
I'm almot always running winetest inside a virtual desktop. There's not a
single log printed to the terminal.
Actually I already know this behaviour from Ubuntu Linux, but somehow it's more
of a pain on MacOS. I just tested again in the unreleased Ubuntu Lucid: the tag
input form has a grey title bar, shows no cursor but accepts my input. That's
why I did not bother to report this bug in the past.
