It doesn’t seem to work properly, application windows escape the virtual desktop border regardless of settings.
I tried switching registry settings for wm decoration, wm control and it still doesn’t work as expected.
1.7.2 from oss repo works fine, they never leave the desktop border.
What do you mean by “escape”? Can you post a screenshot?
I would post one, but I had downgraded to 1.7.2 where it doesn’t happen.
I’ll make an example with some gimp magic - image
On the left, winecfg window behaves correctly, draws within virtual desktop limits.
On the right, it doesn’t respect the border, and draws outside the virtual desktop.
I don’t see any virtual desktop at all in the image you created.
FWIW, I am not having any problems with the virtual desktop on my system in 1.7.13.
Sorry, I forced decoration off in kwin settings, but it does happen with or without the decoration.
In 1.7.2 there’s no way to move a window outside the border, while in 1.7.13 it acts like this.
What window manager are you using, and have you tried disabling desktop effects?
I have tried it under xfwm, kwin, openbox and lxdm. Also tried different decoration settings inside winecfg.
Switching kwin effects on doesn’t make it any better, but I normally keep them disabled.
I’m using kwin, with desktop effects disabled, and I can’t reproduce the problem. Have you tried a clean wineprefix? Other than that, I don’t know what else to suggest.
It’s downloading some huge packages right now, not sure I want to interrupt it.
But I will download 1.7.13 again, make a clean kde profile and a new prefix as soon as it’s finished, to see if it happens again.
The problem showed up right after updating default wineprefix post upgrade, then temporarily went away after setting Decorated REG_SZ “N” and Managed REG_SZ “N”
After running winecfg and wine regedit couple of times, the problem showed up again. Then I decided to downgrade, which made it go away permanently.
Ok, I did a clean prefix, clean kde user and it worked for a short while.
As soon as I opened winecfg a couple of times in a row, it started again.
Some info that could be relevant:
openSUSE 13.1 - 3.11.10-7-desktop x86_64
KDE 4.11.5
nvidia binary 331.49
wine - 1.7.13-329.1 i586
wine-gecko - 2.24-43.1 noarch
xorg-x11-server - 7.6_1.14.3.901-4.1 x86_64
Hi, have you tested with different resolutions, different Windows emulation version etc and got the same result, i.e. tested it with XP instead of W7 and so on?
Only tried W7 yesterday, 1600x900, 1440x900 and 800x600 same problem.
However, I had changed ftp mirror today, switched to kde 4.12.2 and upgraded wine to 1.7.13-329.1 again.
Now I can’t repro this problem anymore under kwin. (haven’t tried any other wm yet)
It’s a wine bug. Upgraded to latest version and it happens again on clean prefix, regardless of wm.
Then I set up the prefix to xp 1600x900 and it works, until I logout. After login, it starts all over again.
Checked the changelogs from 1.6 to 1.13 and there’s lots of changes to virtual desktop, even some new features.
I will use 1.6 version from /Emulators:/Wine:/STABLE (no problem at all on this version)
