[Bug 17480] New: wineconsole --backend=user does not regain keyboard focus when alt-tabbed to

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17480

Summary: wineconsole --backend=user does not regain keyboard
                    focus when alt-tabbed to
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.15
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I run opensource FAR (http://www.farmanager.com/opensource.php?l=en) in
console, using "user" backend:

wineconsole --backend=user d:/far/Far.exe

When I use alt-tab to change focus to another window (I use fluxbox 1.1.1 +
bbkeys 0.9.1) and then alt-tab to change focus back to console window with FAR,
the window does not respond to keyboard (seems some problem with keyboard
focus, perhaps wrong widget inside the window gains the focus?). If I change
focus using the mouse (by clicking inside the window), keyboard works fine,
same as if I click into the window after alt-tabbing it.

This bug prevent from using only keyboard to change focus to wine console
windows, requiring to use mouse each time you need to switch windows.

Works fine with KDE. Can you test with other window manager(s) and something
simple like 'wine wineconsole cmd'?

I have tested with "wineconsole --backend=user cmd"

With fluxbox, the problem persist - once I run windows, I see blinking cursor,
once I alt-tab out and back, the blinking cursor is not there and I do not have
keyboard focus (until I click the window, giving back keyboard focus and the
cursor)

I have tried with gnome and KDE and seems wineconsole does not suffer from this
bug, alt-tabbing work right there.

However, I have not noticed similar misbehavior with fluxbox + bbkeys with any
other application except wineconsole, so I am not sure if it is bug in bbkeys,
fluxbox or in wine ....

Same behavior (no keyboard focus) is present also if I click with mouse on
titlebar of console window instead of inside it.

Sounds like a bug description for fluxbox. Closing invalid.
