Summary: Steam: update window is always on top and does not accept input Product: Wine Version: 1.2-rc3 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: cww@denterprises.org
While running wine in desktop mode and playing a game with Steam, if Steam finds an update for itself, a window will appear on top of the game and will not accept input. For games that do not support a windowed run mode (e.g. Civilization IV), the only way to make the window go away is to exit the game before attempting to access the Steam client window.
This occurs, for example, when I run Steam with the following script.
---- 8< cut 8< ----
#!/bin/zsh
WINEVERSION=1.2-rc3 export WINEPREFIX="$HOME/local/lib/wine-ok"
$HOME/local/wine-$WINEVERSION/bin/wine explorer \ /desktop=foo,1920x1080 start \ 'C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe'
---- 8< cut 8< ----
Steam may be downloaded at the following URL (though, you may need a Steam account, which you may create at steampowered.com, first).

--- Comment #1 from Colin Wetherbee cww@denterprises.org 2010-06-18 23:49:54 --- I should mention, I suppose, that the expected behavior is that clicking on the Steam client update window should apply focus to it, and, following that, I should be able to click buttons within the window to perform Steam actions, close it, etc. If I click anywhere within the window while running a fullscreen game with Steam, focus appears to remain on the game.

--- Comment #2 from butraxz@gmail.com 2013-05-29 11:28:52 CDT --- This has not been updated for over 900 days.
Is this still an issue in 1.5.31 or higher or is this abandoned ?
