Summary: Worms Armageddon and Worms World Party stop responding to input after closing dialogs Product: Wine Version: 0.9.35. Platform: PC URL: http://wwp.team17.com/main.html?page=comm&area=_down_dem o OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-user AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: madewokherd@gmail.com
After closing a dialog in the WA or WWP frontend when in virtual desktop mode, the frontend no longer responds to input.
I know the WA frontend uses user.dll for its controls (i.e. they are real windows controls with real windows) and ddraw to draw them, so I'm filing this under user.
I remember discovering when poking at this earlier that after the dialogs are closed, another window (whose purpose is unknown to me) actually obscures WA's main window that has the controls. The controls are still visible because ddraw draws over everything (this is not wine's normal behavior but it is the correct behavior and it's how the patches for bug 2082 work) but according to the windowing system they are obscured. I assume that means they get no input events.
I do not know why that happens or why this works in windows.
This can be reproduced by running the WWP demo (see the howto at http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=3905) and attempting to start a network game (the demo doesn't allow this and creates a dialog to let you know).
