Bug ID: 57616
           Summary: [all apps] Using DWM window manager changing tag of
                    window broken now
           Product: Wine
           Version: 9.22
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown

I updated arch right now and tried to put Heroes3 gold on a DWM tag while
listening to a podcast. You cannot move the games or any wine windows to any
DWM tag without losing access to the window... probably the window wants to
show itself outside visible area?
NO APPLICATION WINDOW CAN BE MOVED TO-FROM TAGS!
So its not specific to any game or any application whatsoever. That means if I
do wine notepad.exe then I cannot move the wine window to any place
whatsoever...
Workaround: Enable virtual screen globally... but this is not a real workaround
because often leads to bad performance or generally annoying... so it is only
good temporarily...
Last time was updated was some months ago so probably it became a heavy
regression in that time period. I am using X (of course... its DWM guys)
I am a developer, even have some C/C++ exp, so can try to help troubleshoot,
but have never touched wine before so generally not sure where to look or what
to look. My system is very minimalistic and I do manual startx and dwm 6.1 runs
but that is also very minimalistic.
After I set virtual screen, music from (then already disappeared, CTRL+C-d down
wine) started to play in background - while I was starting notepad with new
settings...
I am pretty sure something realated to window management changed heavily and
this possibly affects all kinds of lightweight window managers on X (probably
i3 and others I guess, but did not try).
PS.: I tried to run the game with its opengl renderer - not sure what makes the
window, but there is no difference so probably its general window handling
whihch is now wrong... Also not work with fullscreened games. If I start the
game on TAG 3 I can watch the game as long as I am not moving away from tag3
(its like a virtual screen in dwm, but different)
