This is one of a series of patches on winex11 committed on August 20. Since they did not pass through wine-patches, I don't really know what are they supposed to fix. This is keeping me from simply submitting a reversal of this patch to wine-patches. Could somebody be so kind as to explain?
They are supposed to fix the gazillion problems we have with various windows not being managed, thus not getting focus, always staying on top, etc. It does this by making any window that receives focus switch to managed mode at that point. It should give better results than the simple static heuristic based on the window style, but there are certainly some cases where it will do the wrong thing.
What you should do is either figure out if there's a way to make that window behave properly while still keeping it managed, or if not, whether there's a way to identify that kind of windows to prevent them from getting managed at all.
