           Summary: MechCommander crashes in virtual desktop mode when mouse
                    leaves virtual desktop
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.3
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: lukas.middendorf at freenet.de


Created an attachment (id=15805)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=15805)
debug output from console (I marked the point at which the mouse pointer left
the window)

I'm using wine 1.1.3 (compiled from source for complete debug symbols, but
crash is the same with the package from winehq) on ubuntu 8.04.
When wine runs in virtual desktop mode and the intro video of MechCommander is
over, as soon as the mouse pointer leaves the window, the game freezes and I
get a backtrace on the console. There are no errors or fixmes directly related
to the crash. If I then use ctrl+c in the console, the internal debugger of
MechCommander starts (this also happens if the crash has not happened), but
does not seem to be of any use (missing debug symbols I think), but at least
the program does not die totally.

If I disable direct draw for MechCommander (edit prefs.cfg in game directory
and set "b DirectDraw = F") the game runs in windowed mode itself and I have
not seen the crash happen.

I have seen it happen with MechCommander Gold and also with the free demo of
MechCommander. The only way to get the demo seems to be from
http://downloads.gamezone.com/demos/d8467.htm (unfortunately you need a special
downloader, but it runs with wine), but http://www.mechcommander.org/ offers
some valuable help on how to obtain the full version.
