Bug ID: 36788
           Summary: Wine doesn't show anything with Photodex slideshow
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.20
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: winex11.drv

   Regression SHA1: ea07c310ecfee6b301e7af8413760eb446e6f184

I have one exe file which seems to be Photodex generated slideshow application.
It used to word perfectly with Wine in 2010-2012, but when I tried to run it
recently I got no output on screen.

Sound plays fine, and it looks like application window is created (it is
present on taskbar), but there is no window, no borders, no title, no output.
Well this slideshow runs fullscreen, but anyway no output.

I've managed to bisect this problem to:

Unfortunately code changed too much from that time, so git revert patch can't
be applied.

It's probably worth trying with a different manager. Otherwise I'd need a
download for that app.

I confirm this under kwin from KDE4 and openbox/LXDE-Qt.

I will upload that slideshow somewhere today.

Sorry for not getting to this sooner. The download seems dead, do you still
have that file somewhere?

Yes, that box died some time ago.

I still have that file, but not sure where/how to share it.

However, I confirm that problem still exists on wine-1.7.53 (Gentoo amd64).

Which way is it best to share that file with you?

Does the bug still occur with wine-5.0-rc1?

There is no 5.0-rc1 in Gentoo yet. Just checked latest present 4.21 - bug still
reproduces.

I'm ok with sharing it with limited number of Wine developers but prefer not to
make it public to whole world :)

Any ideas?

Maybe Alexandre Julliard would be interested in fixing his regression. You
could try to send him a private email.

Well, Alexandre is aware about this bug. Probably, it is just low priority :(

Unfortunately bug is still present, same behavior as in initial report.

This may be worth retesting, there have been a lot of window management changes
lately.

Wow! Indeed, just emerged wine-vanilla-9.22 in Gentoo and it works!

It took a bit longer than I expected, but now I hope that my kids/grandkids
would be able to enjoy this slide show :)

(Unless it gets broken again, so I promise to retest once in a year :))

Ok, new information.

It worked, but only because for the first test I emerged minimal wine without
OpenGL support. After enabling OpenGL (and rebuilding Mesa for having 32bit
drivers) - it stopped working with same behavior as previously - no window, no
borders, no title, no output.

Console is spammed with:

011c:fixme:d3d:surface_cpu_blt Filter WINED3D_TEXF_LINEAR not supported in
software blit.

Extra update - this time I've managed to notice that application icon on KDE
task bar has its own menu, which is provided by the application itself, and
this menu has "Full screen" option - if I click on it and uncheck it -
application goes to the window mode where it actually works!

What is more interesting: clicking "maximize" on the window title bar brings
application to full screen mode again where it works correctly; but right click
on the title bar and selecting "Full screen" again - doesn't work.

P.S. I'm on KDE Plasma 6.2.4 with kwin_x11 window manager.

Anyway, it looks that I'm able to see the slideshow under Wine with some
workarounds, so I'm leaving it up to Wine maintainers whether this needs to be
investigated further.
