[Bug 54217] New: SourceInsight: app menu doesn't work

Bug ID: 54217
           Summary: SourceInsight: app menu doesn't work
           Product: Wine
           Version: 7.21
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: user32
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

The menu bar has no reaction to any mouse clicks, acts like it is disabled.

The issue affects multiple apps, another app I know is Propellerhead Reason
(https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10845).

There was an experimental patch (from Rein Klazes in 2009) which used to fix
the issue, but IIRC this patch was never accepted. Anyway, for many years it
was enough to recompile Wine with that patch to have a working app menu...
until recently. Now dlls/user32/menu.c code was heavily refactored so the patch
cannot be applied even manually (all involved functions are gone etc).

To summarize:

- there is a bug which breaks app menu functionality for at least 2 apps
- at this moment there is NO fix or workaround which can be applied anymore

The original bugreport for Propellerhead Reason is from 2007. A 15-year wine is
nice, but a 15 years old bug in Wine is not - please, please do something with
this issue.

Meet the same problem.

I find if I minimize SourceInsight and reopen it can fix this problem.
But It is really disgusting.

Please repair this.

wine5.0 & SourceInsight4.0

Yes, I also encounter this issue with source insight 3.5.

1.Arch linux with kernel 6.2.
2.Wine: 8.0 8.2 8.3.1
3.Description:
Same to Alex's description.

My temporary solution: enable the virtual desktop by winecfg, the resolution is
small than the host. Example: host is 1920*1080, virtual desktop can use
1650*1050.
But still use below solution firstly.

I think this bug is duplicate of bug 23064.

I have the same issue with Wine 6.0.3 on Ubuntu 22.04 and CrossOver 24.0.5 on
macOS. Like Alex mentioned, I’ve been living with this bug for years. I didn’t
even know there was once a working patch for it. :(
