The bug works differently for different apps. For example in Raven Shield the
mouse is confined in a small box inside the wine window and will jump off the
wine screen too early and the menus are not usable because you can't click
anything there. The pointer works fine in-game though.

The warping workaround thats committed is not keeping the mouse pointer at the
center in Raven Shield menu, it works with this patch and is not confined in a
box. However in-game it's of course kept at the center but it has it's flaws
too. I can move my mouse fast enough that wine can't get the movement event and
it jumps off the window but it's a minor problem, probably with your patch it
would jump off the screen with lower speed if the cursor is too fast and skips
the few pixels on the sides where it would be warped back.

Your improvement is probably working for some apps but it would need to be a
new value for the registry key so the old "force" would work for example Raven
Shield.

Vitaliy any comments on this?
