Bug #: 30924
Summary: Uncapture Mouse in Fullscreen Windows
Product: Wine
Version: unspecified
Platform: x86
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: -unknown
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: songandsilence27 at gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
In winecfg, there is an option, under the Graphics tab to automatically capture
the mouse in fullscreen windows.
When using the emulated virtual desktop, certain programs freezing, crashing,
etc., can cause the mouse to stay within the emulated virtual desktop. Killing
wine or wineserver causes the mouse to stay within the confines of the virtual
desktop, rendering the (actual, X11) desktop useless. The Virtual desktop
window will grey out, becoming unresponsive to any and all input meant to close
it, including keystrokes such as ALT+F4 and clicking the "close" button.
Opening a X11-managed window (e.g., a terminal emulator) inside of the window
area will allow keyboard input, and depending on placement, can free the mouse
from the virtual desktop window, however, mouse clicks are not functioning in
other X11 windows, panels, etc.
Killing and restarting the X server via CTRL+ALT+Bksp or switching to a second
Virtual Console (e.g., tty2) and issuing "pkill X; startx" will temporarily
solve the issue (unless the offending program is run and freezes/crashes
again).
There should be a key combination to release the mouse back to the X11 desktop
environment.
