           Summary: Plants vs Zombies is stretched on widescreen monitors
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.38
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: malteskarupke at web.de


Plants vs Zombies is stretched on widescreen monitors. In Windows the game
displays black bars on both sides of the screen instead. (see
http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16096 for example
screenshots for the desired behavior)

This results in seemingly erroneous mouse input. Because the game assumes, that
it is not stretched, and that there are black bars on the side. The attached
screenshot illustrates the problem. In that screenshot, my mouse is at the
position where the Quit button should be, (and the Quit button is highlighted
as a result) but the button is displayed further to the right because the
display is stretched. While this is a minor problem in the menu, once inside
the game it is really annoying, because you always have to click slightly to
the side of where you want things to go. And collecting coins or sun is very
annoying, because it is supposed to be just mindless clicking, but now you
never get the location right on the first try.

This bug has only been present since 1.1.38, because before that the game
suffered from (the similar, but worse) bug 19373. I think that bug and and this
bug are related. That bug drew the game at the wrong position, and this bug
draws the game in the wrong size.

The bug is also present in the free demo version of the game, so that can be
used for testing.
