[Bug 37541] New: Request for Enhancement: first time opening a program, give the window some size

Bug ID: 37541 Summary: Request for Enhancement: first time opening a program, give the window some size Product: Wine Version: 1.7.30 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: ToddAndMargo@zoho.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 49957 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=49957 first window
Hi All,
Wine 1.7.30 and Smart Suite.
Request for Enhancement:
Currently the first time you open a window (like Word Pro), the window has horizontal length, but no vertical length, just the decoration bar.
The decoration says you are in Windowed mode. If you click on the Window mode decoration, you get a full screen window. Click again and you just get the decoration bar back.
This is really confusing as your thing you have click on the "roll up / roll down" in the upper left of the decoration. The tip off that you did not, is the arrow is pointing up. (That doesn't stop yo from clicking it anyway.)
The cure is to drag the line at the bottom of decoration downward, then you get a windowed window back. That is unless the Role Up/Down arrow is now pointing down from your clicking on it.
This is really confusing. Makes you think Wine is broken (again).
Would your please consider giving the first time a windows is open some size?
I have attached a picture of what the weird opening screen looks like.
Many thanks, -T

--- Comment #1 from Dmitry Timoshkov dmitry@baikal.ru --- Does it behave same way under Windows or the window Word Pro creates on first launch there is not of zero height?
What happens on next run(s) (both under Windows and Wine)? Do you still need to manually resize the window or Word Pro remembers its window size?

No

I have only seen this on a fresh reinstall of Smart Suite into a fresh WINEPREFIX

What ever you set it to it remembers.

--- Comment #3 from Dmitry Timoshkov dmitry@baikal.ru --- What version are you using and with which WM? I tested with Lotus SmartSuite Millenium Edition Release 9.8 and don't see this problem.

--- Comment #4 from Todd Chester ToddAndMargo@zoho.com ---
Lotus SmartSuite Release 9.8, N99.8.0208.0800
Reproduced under:
Xfce Fedora Core 21 Beta 4, 64 bit with RPM Wine Xfce Scientific Linux 6.4, 64 bit with compiled Wine 1.7.30
Xfce was two different versions too

Could you please try to test with other WM (like KDE or Gnome)?

Hi Dmitry,
That will be a major undertaking. All my systems are Xfce only. Give me a few weeks. Do you really need me to do this?
Question: is "zero height" an invalid condition? If so, is there a way to add tiny bit of height to it, so the user isn't tricked into thinking he pressed the "roll up/doll down" button"?
Many thanks, -T

Since I can't reproduce it here that might be an xfce bug. Without testing with other WM that's just a guess.
Question: is "zero height" an invalid condition?
Creating 0-height windows is perfectly valid.
If so, is there a way to add tiny bit of height to it, so the user isn't tricked into thinking he pressed the "roll up/doll down" button"?
It depends on many things. In general Wine creates windows with dimensions asked by an application and can't treat them specially for every app.

--- Comment #8 from Todd Chester ToddAndMargo@zoho.com --- It sure does sound like the app is asking for it. In that case, I don't think you can do anything about it, especially with zero height being a valid request. Go ahead and close this request.
Thank you for considering this! -T
