Bug ID: 57014
           Summary: WINE may have turned into a system killer
           Product: Wine
           Version: 9.0
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org

1. I use a WIN32 text editor, PFE, which I run under WINE.
2. There has always been a bug in that after closing the laptop lid and then
opening it again (which does not even send the laptop to sleep, but will turn
the screen off), all PFE windows are now almost complete off-screen, with only
the very bottom-right corner of the PFE window being visible in the very
top-left corner of the screen.
3. To get out of this, I go to the running-applications bar (Debian, XFCE),
right click on PFE, select "move" and then I can drag the window, and I put it
back where I can see it.
4. I also play Vanilla WoW, 32 bit client.  Recently, last month or so, a new
bug has turned up, in that at busy times, occasionally, the client will freeze
up *graphically*.  Closing the laptop lid, and opening it again, fixes the
freeze up.
5. For WoW, unlike PFE, closing the lid simply makes the WoW client minimize,
so I can return to the game by clicking on its icon in the running-applications
bar.
6. Now the kicker - PFE sometimes opens up a Yes/No dialog.  It's modal.  PFE
had just opened such a dialog when the screen froze up, as it does with WoW.  I
closed the lid and opened it again - now PFE is as usual off-screen way up to
the top-left.
7. Only problem now is all mouse clicks and key presses no longer have any
effect.  My guess is the modal dialog is absorbing them - but I can't see it to
operate it correctly, and I can't right click on "Move" to drag PFE back on
screen, and the dialog has no icon of its own in the running-applications bar,
so I can't reach it.
In the end, I had to hard reboot via the power button.
