[Bug 23841] New: Steam windows (wine) appear tiled in many copies on screen

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23841

Summary: Steam windows (wine) appear tiled in many copies on
                    screen
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: x86
               URL: http://store.steampowered.com/

Multiples copies

The "new" Steam UI running under Wine has a weird effect when run along with a
compositing window manager. Instead of one copy of the window, multiple copies
appear tiled to the right and down. Only the top-left copy is "solid" in the
sense that it's the only one that receives events. Clicking on a copy sends the
events to the window below (another application or the desktop). All copies
reproduce the changes in the main copy.

I've reproduced this with Gnome-Shell, plain Mutter, and Metacity in
compositing mode. Metacity with compositing mode disabled doesn't exhibit this
problem.

I'm attaching a screeshot made with Gnome Shell. Metacity shows a different
effect: instead of the extra copies, it shows filled black.

Curiously in the "expose" mode of Gnome Shell (i.e. when the desktop is zoomed
out) the window appears correctly. I haven't tried similar features of the
other window managers.

Note that this happens with all the Steam windows, but not with any other
application I've tried.

I can't reproduce this, but I have a theory. Does it still happen if you
configure --without-xshape ?

Indeed this gets rid of the problem, though I get the WM's decoration around
the window.

This is probably a window manager bug. Maybe I'll write a simple testcase
later.

The X shape extension is used to create non-rectangular windows. Windows has a
similar feature. In both cases, the program supplies a region for the window's
shape. Both drawing and interaction are restricted to the intersection of that
region and the window's "natural" region (the rectangle it would normally
occupy).

I happen to know that the new Steam GUI sets a very large region for its
windows, basically (0,0)-(INT_MAX,INT_MAX), which should be the same as not
setting a custom shape at all. This triggered a bug in Wine that made the
region 0 size, which is why the Steam windows used to be invisible. Wine now
correctly sets that large region.

My guess is that these compositing window managers are not intersecting the X
shape region with the window's rectangle when they draw it.

test case attempt 1

Here's a first attempt at a test case.

This program creates a window and gives it a shape that is partially outside
the window's bounding rectangle.

Unlike steam, the window is still decorated. I may need to fix that before
you'll get an identical result.

While I still don't see anything outside the window with compositing metacity,
moving the window creates a very interesting effect.

I think the problem is in GameOverlayRenderer.dll.
Quick workaround: start steam, then rename GameOverlayRenderer.dll to something
else, then start games.
If GameOverlayRenderer.dll is enabled, games freezes with previously mentioned
exception.
GameOverlayRenderer.log says (last lines):
(...)

Thu Aug 26 07:54:12 2010 UTC - DirectInput8Create hook called, 1fa56a8
---
I think the exception occurs when steam tries to hook DirectInput8 calls.
Disabling Steam In-game community does not solve the problem.

Andras, while your comment is relevant to my interests, I believe you updated
the wrong bug.

This bug is still visible in the Gnome 3 Shell. Is there a reason this bug is
still Unconfirmed?

I had reported the same problem, I've marked the bug as a duplicate of this
bug. I'll try out the mutter patch and see how it all goes. Good work :)

Because it's not a wine bug.

Thanks for the test case (one without window decorations is attached) ...
unfortunately, while your test case works perfectly with my mutter patches,
Steam still has some issues:

1) Windows often only work correctly if they've been shown before... otherwise
they'll have the same tiling problem they did before.

2) Resizing is horribly broken. Resizing with the handle inside the window has
some serious problems, and resizing with the border seems to have the same sort
of tiling effect until it has to redisplay the entire window.

Do you know of anything Wine or Steam do that could cause these problems?
