http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22135

Summary: Civilization 4 blocks the screen
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.41
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-d3d
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

When running this game under Windows, you can press ALT+TAB and then you change
to the desktop to run other things and you can afterwards go back. When you try
on Linux when you press those keys the menu for the appsthat you have open
appears in the middle of the screen and you can go with ALT+TAB to another.
However when you realease ALT+TAB nothing happens and you remain in the Civ4
game.

Obviously Alt+Tab is handled by your WM. Does Alt+Tab work at all in your WM
when
running full-screen apps?

I have tried ALT+TAB with other full screen apps (VLC) and it works in my
system. In Civilization IV when I press ALT, it appears in the middle of the
screen the selection, as with VLC and with TAB I can change to the application
icon I want. However, on the contrary to VLC when I release ALT, so that I get
the new app, when wine Civ is running, nothing happens and the screen continues
to be the full screen Civ4

Have you changed any settings in winecfg? Specifically "Allow the window
manager to control windows"?

The option to allow the WM to control the windows is checked. I have tried to
run it with it uncheceked and same behaviour and furthermore, now the icon to
choose Civ4 does not appear. No problem since Civ4 continues to occupy the full
screen.

I am not sure to understand how we can reproduce this. Do you mean that when
you press alt+tab to switch to another app, CIV4 remains on your screen? You
mention that pressing alt brings a menu up, my WM does not do that. What WM do
you use?

When Civ 4 runs in windows, it runs at full screen as with WINE. If for some
reason you want use another application but not closing Civ 4, you just press
ALT+TAB and change to the window of desired application and Civ4 minimizes (as
it runs at full screen only).

In I-cannot-remember-which-version-of-previous wine, you could also do this,
you just changed application (ALT+TAB and civ4 minimised). However, From one
version of wine on if you try to do this, yes, the selection of applications
screen appears in the middle of the screen when pressing ALT+TAB. Furthermore
maintaning ALT pressed, if you press TAB you can select any of the applications
that you want to use between those that are active but when you release ALT,
instead of appearing the application you selected and Civ4 minimising, Civ4
continues maximizes and runnig at full screen.

I use Fedora 12 and Fedora 13 with GNOME and the same applied to Fedora 10.
