Bug ID: 56231
           Summary: Myst using DOSBox doesn't display anything
           Product: Wine
           Version: 9.0-rc5
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

Split off from bug 56225.

After downloading the program and running the "Myst.bat", it starts DOSBox,
displays some text and loads into the windows desktop. However, I only get a
black window. When pressing Enter I hear the game starting, but no graphical
output.

It works for other users, but not for me.

Turns out that's a problem with my multi-monitor setup.
Tested with KDE Plasma, both on X11 and XWayland.
As soon as I move the DOSBox window to the other screen, it doesn't update its
window contents anymore. As soon as I move it back, it resumes drawing its
contents like normally.

> (RPG Maker Game)

Elaborate.

I find it unlikely either ruby or node-webkit makers would be affected by the
same bug as as old game as Myst. Unless it's something like my bug with
repositioning windows after dpms blankout (caused by a somewhat non-conformant
second monitor).

There isn't much to elaborate. It only updates its screen when on the first
monitor, move it over to the second and it stops drawing its contents. Move it
back and it continues drawing. Only seems to affect X11 and XWayland though.

Also keep in mind that the Myst thing is with using DosBox.

I meant 'elaborate which kind of RPG Maker is affected'.

Just to establish if it's game specific, engine specific or even more generic.

That's surely a duplicate of bug 38019.

Not sure, those two programs in the other bug work for me.

...you know, funny thing, it just didn't connect at first reading.

I actually did experience a variant of this problem in ruby makers in bug
53910.
There the windows are moved only *partially* offscreen, but it still freezes
the updates till the window is moved fully back to primary display.
