Summary: Combobox loops endlessly if displayed by MDI child and mouse selects dropdown Product: Wine Version: 20050211 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-gui AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: a_villacis@palosanto.com
When the following conditions are all true: * Windows application uses MDI window * At least one MDI child is displayed * The MDI child displays a dropdown list (combobox without editing cap.) * User selects with mouse (not keyboard) the combobox in order to display the dropdown
... then the combobox starts flashing endlessly. The focus seems to alternate between the MDI child and the colored rectangle which paints the combobox when selected.
I searched the bug database, and bug #2147 looks like this exact same bug. However, I can provide on demand a VisualBasic 6 sample application which reproduces the bug. This problem occurs only when a MDI child displays the dropdown list - SDI windows and dialogs are not affected.
