Summary: Apps not restoring correctly after minimizing twice Product: Wine Version: 1.1.10 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: diafero@arcor.de
This is a problem occurring in different applications. Examples are "Welt am Draht" (http://mathespiele.ma.funpic.de/programm.php?id=33) as well as PlasmaShop and PRPTool (http://www.guildofwriters.com/wiki/PlasmaShop). When I minimize them using the minimize button on the window border or by clicking their task-bar entry, and then restore them by clicking the entry again, the "Minimize" button is no longer available in the top right corner of the window. If I then minimize and restore it again by clicking the task-bar entry, the app is not restored correctly: The window is only about 20 pixels wide and 50 pixels high then, without any content being drawn. It continues to run fine, just that I can't interact with it as the window has no content and can't be resized. Closing it by right-clicking in the task-bar correctly quits the app without data being lost. What is even more strange is that I can fix this problem with "Uru - The Path of the Shell" (no matter whether it is in the same wineprefix as the problematic app or not - I don't have other full-screen 3D apps running in wine so I can't test if it works with other games, too): I restore the app, then restore Uru. press Windows+D to go to the desktop and restore the app again - it opens fine then. Minimizing and restoring it once again brings it back to the broken state.

--- Comment #4 from diafero@arcor.de 2009-06-15 06:35:15 --- What the...? Bugzilla for some weird reason automatically switched to this bug after I edited another one, the attachment was meant to go there... sorry for the confusion.

--- Comment #5 from diafero@arcor.de 2009-06-23 13:44:44 --- Some additional observations regarding this bug: - It seems that after minimizing and restoring such a problematic application once, it actually has two windows: The normal one and an additional one with the same icon, size about 50x50 or 100x100 pixels, filled with garbage. When I use Alt-Tab I see both of them. Since I switched to KDE4, the main window is not always completely lost after minimizing, restoring and minimizing it again, by clicking the taskbar entry several times I sometimes get it back. Sometimes I also just get the small second window. - "Restoring" the application using a fullscreen 3D application does not work any longer with KDE4 - The 3d cover-flow-like alt-tab switcher if KDE4 sometimes completely crashes when switching to the strange second small window - I am not sure, but it could be that the common factor of all the applications is that they were built with Borland (Delphi or C++). I knows for sure that "Welt am Draht" is a Borland-application, I could try finding out about PlasmaShop and PRPTool.
My conclusion is that something the windows app does makes wine create a second window and tell the window manager strange things, which in turn leads to the weird effects I try to describe.

--- Comment #6 from Paul Romanyszyn pgr@arcelectronicsinc.com 2009-06-23 21:41:54 --- If they are a Delphi apps then it most likely is a dup of bug #15069 With a recent wine source try the patch http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=16608 from bug 15069 and if it fixes the your problem then this is a dup.
