[Bug 15041] New: Guild Wars: Typing into Char Fields

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15041

Summary: Guild Wars: Typing into Char Fields
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.3
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

The patching works fine, though, I am unable to type anything on the log in
screen.

I can select which char field has focus with the mouse, and the cursor blinks,
but other than that typing results to nothing.

One side effect I noticed, the last app that had focus before GW, was a pidgin
window.

So while I was presented with GW log in screen, the key strokes, where typed in
the pidgin chat window.

Weird.

I tried downgrading to ubuntu hardy's, default wine version, but no luck there
either.

What window manager are you using? Are you using default / customized settings?
Does the keyboard focus work better if Wine is using virtual desktops?

I'm using xfwm4 (XFCE 4 Window Manager).

And you're right, I should've tried it first: When I am using a virtual
desktop, the keyboard focus works fine.

On a side note, the game works *way* too slow, I type now, and it appears after
5 secs+

It works fine on the same machine from windows xp. I hate logging in windows
though :/

Any suggestions to enable any specific flags/settings for this app?

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.16 or newer) wine?

Ran into this same problem, I found that if I checked "Allow the window manager
to control the windows" then I could type in the fields again. I'm using Fedora
10 Gnome. This doesn't occur on my Ubuntu Intrepid Gnome laptop.

As it turns out, when I enable "Allow the window manager to control the
windows", I can't minimize or switch between windowed and maximized. When I
disable it, I can't even login. What to do now?

PS: wine version: 1.1.29

This is your friendly reminder  that there has been no bug activity for a year.
Is this still an issue in current (1.3.9 or newer) wine?

I have no problems entering login information anymore (version 1.3.8). As far
as I'm concerned, this one's FIXED.
