I built and ran Wine on 10.13, and I get the same result. The regression commit is "winemac.drv: Remove now unused -[WineContentView drawRect:].”, 3f845b34deada0dd58e3674119af47ce85851c24.

The problem seems to be that WineContentView updateLayer isn’t being called for some reason. What’s weird is, if I add back an empty implementation of drawRect: like this, it does work.

Dean, does this change make a difference for you on 10.9?

And Chip, any idea why this would make a difference or if this is the right thing to do? drawRect: isn’t even being called, it’s existence alone seems to make things work.

(Note that this is on a 2010 MacBook which is about as old a machine as 10.13 supported. In particular, it has a GeForce 320M which doesn’t support Metal, but I don’t think this should make a difference. I’ll test out a 10.13 machine with Metal to be sure.)
