            Bug ID: 42337
           Summary: ISA(Interlinear Scripture Analyzer): window manager
                    losing window with Wine application running
           Product: Wine
           Version: 2.0
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: highflux7 at hushmail.com
      Distribution: ---

Run Ubuntu 16.04.1 with the Mate 1.16 desktop. The application (ISA v2 from
http://www.scripture4all.org/download/download_ISA2.php) runs fine, only the
window manager in Mate occasionally loses the window completely and I can't get
it back via alt-tab or running the task manager in wine.

I usually have a couple instances of this Wine application running (they sync
together) in one of Mate's virtual workspaces, and often before the window(s)
does it's disappearing act, I will see the application docked in the bottom
panel (window list applet?) along with the other applications from that
workspace even when the Wine application isn't within the current focused
workspace; this shouldn't be.

I posted this to a Mate forum thinking it likely a Mate problem. The advice I
got was to try replacing the 'marco' window manager with 'metacity'. This I
tried without success. Same exact problem. The window managers are clearly
getting confused somehow.


I posted this to one of the help forums at winehq.org and (as well as
suggesting I post here) was directed to enable the Wine virtual desktop via
winecfg and see how the application fared running in such.  This I tried.  The
application running multiple instances within the Wine virutal desktop runs
we'll say 'okay' (albeit with a quite a performance hit) and the Mate window
manager doesn't seem to lose track of the Wine virutal desktop window like it
was the windows with just the raw apps running.


Any ideas on what might be making the window manager lose track of these
windows and possible mitigation??
