--- Comment #5 from Olivier F. R. Dierick <o.dierick at piezo-forte.be> ---
Hello,

It is not 'normal' behavior of desktops to prevent applications from switching
to higher, available, resolutions.

I just checked and Wine does change the resolution when virtual desktop is
disabled and the application request a higher resolution, so the old behavior
is consistent with that, and with Windows if I remember correctly.

Virtual desktop is an emulation of Windows desktop (with shell features) in a
window, converting resolution changes to window resizing.

I don't think that the virtual desktop feature was intended to be a screen
emulation or jail. If you really want that feature, it can be implemented as a
separate option. I think it should not depend on virtual desktop mode anyway.
When that feature is enabled, Wine should not allow the application to switch
to resolutions higher than the current (real or virtual) desktop size. It
should hide those resolutions from the application.

What about opening an enhancement bug for that?

It still works like that.

Regards.
