Example

Starting from Wine version 9.0, the waiting cursor no longer appears when
attempting to set it to indicate a long-running operation in MFC applications
or other programs. The issue appears to have started after the commit on June
13, 2023.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the attached simple MFC application.
2. Click the button "Start Long Operation"

Expected Result:
The waiting cursor should appear for the duration of the 3-second sleep.

Actual Result:
The waiting cursor does not appear during the Sleep call. The cursor remains
the default arrow.

Example Application:
The example application has been attached. It uses the most basic
implementation of the CWaitCursor class, as described in the official Microsoft
documentation:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/mfc/reference/cwaitcursor-class?view=m...

Regression Commit:
The issue seems to have started with the commits made on June 13, 2023:

https://github.com/wine-mirror/wine/commits/master/dlls?author=rbernon&s...

Notes:
This issue does not occur in Windows, where the waiting cursor appears as
expected.

Environment:
Wine version: 9.0+ (possibly Wine 8.x, but not 8.0)
Operating System: RHEL 7.9, RHEL 8.10

Have you tested Wine 10.9?

The bug still exists in version Wine 10.9.
Fixing this issue is important because users cannot tell whether the app is
still loading or has frozen.
