Bug ID: 37238
           Summary: When opening certain applications in fullscreen, the
                    screen spazzes between white, black, desktop, and the
                    application
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.26
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Mac OS X
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]

When opening certain games in Fullscreen mode, the screen spazzes between
black, white, the desktop, and the game screen before settling on the game
screen.

This has occurred on Touhou 14.3 and Touhou 14 (both tested), and likely
affects all danmaku shooting Touhou games from 10 through 14.3 since they use
similar if not identical processes (unconfirmed).

No, that's a different issue. Please file a new bug report for that.

I will be linking a video of the issue in action.

Are you using a Mac with a Retina display?  If not, please describe your
hardware (screen size, GPU, normal desktop resolution).

Also, please collect a +tid,+display log of the game launch and attach it. 
Thanks.

I believe I have a Retina display (which causes a number of other problems as
well). 
Intel Iris graphics, 1536 MB VRAM, Retina LCD 2560x1600.

I do not know how to obtain the +tid or +display log, however. Simply typing
them in after the wine command did not give anything different.

Note: Clarification on what I am getting as err:

I assume these are the different resolutions it is trying to use?

Thanks for the log.  I'm not sure there's any bug here.  It seems the game is
just badly written.

There's a function it can call to query what display modes are available.  It
doesn't use that.  Instead, it seems to have a list of modes it is interested
in checking and it just tries changing the display mode to each in turn to see
if it succeeds.  If it does, it switches back to the original mode before
trying the next.  So, it's flipping back and forth between display modes "on
purpose".

The only concern I have is whether the Mac driver is failing to recognize some
of the display modes supported by your system.  The game tries these
resolutions and the Mac driver reports that they are unsupported:

960x720
1152x864
1280x960
1280x1024
1600x1024
1600x1200
1920x1080
1920x1200

Do you have reason to believe that those resolutions should be supported by
your system?  If you open the Displays pane of System Preferences and select
"Resolution: Scaled", are any of the resolutions listed above available?

When choosing "scaled," none of them are available.

Also, thanks for the information about attempting each display. At the very
least, I know what the issue is.

OK, thanks. I'm going to resolve this as invalid since there's no Wine bug
here. If we find reason to believe that conclusion is wrong, we can change it.
