Summary: Problems switching between instances of PowerPoint 2007 with KDE Product: Wine Version: 1.2-rc2 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: m.duelli@web.de
Created an attachment (id=28717) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=28717) Superfluous third
I am using KDE 4 and run PowerPoint 2007 via wine 1.2rc2 (however, the problem I will describe exists for me since the time I first started using wine more intensively)
How to reproduce: 1. Use KDE 4 (a friend tested with another window manager and could not reproduce it) 2. Open a PowerPoint file. Everything is fine so far, works great. As usual, I can switch between different windows without any problems 3. Open another PowerPoint file. Now things get strange! Instead of two PowerPoint windows, I can see three windows: the two opened files and a third window without any content but the title. (see attached screenshot)
In that state, I cannot simply change between the instances of PowerPoint but always have to maximize the window I would like to choose.
When closing the second PowerPoint file, the superfluous small window stays.
As far as I have tested, this behaviour does not occur with multiple instances of Word, for instance.

--- Comment #1 from Rosanne DiMesio dimesio@earthlink.net 2010-06-10 09:35:49 --- That's not a window, it's an extra, misplaced, taskbar icon. I get it in KDE 3.5.10, too, but I also get an icon in the taskbar that allows me to switch between Powerpoint windows. Are you not getting the regular taskbar icon in KDE 4?
Unchecking "Show all windows in the taskbar" on the Powerpoint Options=>Advanced=>Display menu gets rid of it, but it also gets rid of the ability to switch windows using the normal taskbar icon.
Whether it's on or off, you should still be able to switch windows through View=>Switch Windows. Is that not working for you?

--- Comment #2 from Michael Duelli m.duelli@web.de 2010-06-10 10:06:08 --- You are right. It is a misplaced taskbar icon. I just adopted the title of this bug.
I can switch windows with the trick you mentioned as well.
So why is it getting misplaced seems to be the question for this bug.

You are right. It is a misplaced taskbar icon. I just adopted the title of this bug.

So why is it getting misplaced seems to be the question for this bug.
This is not only a misplaced taskbar icon. It should also be possible to change the instances of powerpoint with the given icons. This is the worse part of the bug.
Also it is not KDE specific. I use gnome with AWN. Maybe you should change the title.

Superfluous third
I am using KDE 4 and run PowerPoint 2007 via wine 1.2rc2 (however, the problem I will describe exists for me since the time I first started using wine more intensively)
How to reproduce:
- Use KDE 4 (a friend tested with another window manager and could not

As far as I have tested, this behaviour does not occur with multiple instances of Word, for instance.
I confirm that the problem still exists in version 1.3.19 of Wine and I could test all versions since 1.1.42 and none of them solved the problem.

--- Comment #16 from alister.hood@gmail.com 2013-07-03 18:58:19 CDT --- The behaviour seems to have changed in 1.6rc4. Excel is only shown once in the taskbar and alt-tab. So the user needs to use "View-Window-Switch Windows" (or presumably the built-in keyboard shortcut) to switch between the files. Behaviour of Word (as described at bug 31298) is unchanged - switching via window manager or taskbar works, but the Switch windows feature doesn't work. I suspect this is a completely unrelated issue.
