            Bug ID: 39703
           Summary: Switching from a Windows app to an OS X app and then
                    back causes the spinning ball of death
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Mac OS X
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: professormrh at gmail.com

Sometime after 1.6.2_4 a bug was introduced in Wine that causes any Windows
application under Wine to crash with the spinning ball of death if you switch
to an OS X application and then return to the Windows application under Wine.

Example:

1.  Open Notepad++
2.  Switch to an OS X application (say TextEdit or Chrome)
3.  Copy some text to the clipboard
4.  Switch back to Notepad++
5.  Encounter the spinning ball of death

However, if you just switched to an OS X application and then switched back
without interacting with the clipboard, there is still a 50/50 chance you will
encounter the spinning ball of death.

Once you have the spinning ball of death you have to force quite out of Wine.

Wine 1.6.x does not exhibit this bug.
