[Bug 20646] New: Window jerking under awesome

Summary: Window jerking under awesome
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.17
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

When using the awesome window manager, Wine windows behave strange (see below).
I didn't get an answer on the awesome mailing list, but someone sent me a mail
in private, stating that he had the same problem with Photoshop.

Here's the mail I sent to the awesome mailing list with the description of the
problem:

Hi,

I use Lotus Notes in WINE and the windows behave quite strange. Now
this might be a WINE problem, but I wanted to ask here if someone has
experienced smth. similar with other applications or if someone has
ideas about what the reason might be.

At first the window is positioned correctly. But on focus change (either
focus-in or focus-out) or if any control in the window is clicked, the
window moves 2 pixels to the right and to the bottom. From now on, on
each focus change the window jerks once very quickly: it moves to
its original position and then back to the 2 pixel off position.
Sometimes, but not always, this also happens when clicking controls.

Or it moves further right and down in 2 pixel steps each time the focus
is changed or a control clicked.

Whether it jerks or keeps moving is quite erratic.

If the window is set to floating it still does the initial move on the
first click/focus change after the window has been moved with the
mouse, but no further jerking/moving occurs on subsequent clicks/focus
changes.

The window can be moved back to the original position by switching tags
or between layouts.

Cheers,
harry

This is probably a bug in awesome (Wine demands a lot from window managers).
Try unsetting the "Allow the window manager to control the windows" option in
winecfg.

This reminds me of the same bug on Mac OS/X. Which is/was it's window manager
bug.
So as this one.

Closing - not a Wine bug.

Any information about what the problem was exactly on MacOS X? That would help
the awesome developers.

All Wine windows were moving up & left one pixel each time you click a button.

FWIW, there are a ton of testcases under dlls/user32/tests. Ideally, they
should all work under a proper WM.

Probably a similar WM problem as reported in the bug 12431.
