           Summary: office 2007 ribbon-apps and extended desktop issues
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: sven.plaga at fh-deggendorf.de


During my work with Office 2007 i've noticed that it has problems with my
extended desktop environment:

When i switch a ribbon based application like word or excel 2007 from window
mode to full mode everything works on my primary monitor (i can repeat it
without problems). 

On the extended monitor the switch from window to full works for the first
time. If the switch is performed a few times (usually two times) 
 * the window is stuck at the extended monitor and maintaining full mode
    and 
 * all dialog windows (e.g. file open dialog) do not appear because the main
window has a permanent focus (the dialog windows are behind the main program
window and wait for OK --> as the buttons are out-of-reach, the program looks
completely "frozen")

This situation then is permanently maintained because this setting ist stored
in the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER

    * for Word [Software\\Microsoft\\Office\\12.0\\Word\\Data]
    * for Excel [Software\\Microsoft\\Office\\12.0\\Excel\\Options]

Workarround is:

    * Word: Delete in [Software\\Microsoft\\Office\\12.0\\Word\\Data] the
REG_BINARY "Settings"
    * Excel: Change in [Software\\Microsoft\\Office\\12.0\\Excel\\Options] the
DWORD Maximized from X to 0

and restart the respective programms.

The tested systems configuration was: 

* Ubuntu 9.10
* Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
* Compiz deactivated 
* Extended Desktop performed using xrandr
