What is Emoticon? It's a Windows program allowing the user manage smileys,
emojis and the likes.

How does it work? At launch, the program will display a bunch of smileys and If
you click on one of them, the program will automatically insert it on the
focused window. If for some reason, it can't do this, then the smiley will be
automatically copied to clipboard.

*What happens under WINE?* The program can't detect the focused windows and it
doesn't copy anything to clipboard.

How are you testing this? The program to paste anything to has to be a windows
program too, and has to run within same prefix as the program copying stuff to
clipboard.

Still seems like a bug, WINE programs are supposed to be no different than
native programs. It doesn't integrate into my Linux environment and that makes
it very inconvenient or close to impossible to use it in real world.

There are many programs that don't run or run poorly under WINE compared to the
native versions that It makes no sense to only use it for Windows programs,
when the native versions are available like games, browsers etc.

There is definitely something wrong.

On Windows it will type out the clicked emoji (or a file:// URL to the clicked
emoji GIF) in the last focused application, failing which it will bring up a
messagebox saying it's on the clipboard instead, from where it can be pasted.
Pasting in Wordpad pastes the emoji image, in Notepad pastes the file:// URL to
the emoji GIF.

On Wine, it never finds the last focused window, even when it's a Wine app. It
brings up the messagebox, but nothing is copied to the clipboard, and a
+clipboard trace shows only GetClipboardOwner() is called, no data is actually
copied to the clipboard.
