--- Comment #29 from S. Christian Collins <s_chriscollins at hotmail.com> ---
This bug still occurs in Wine 5.6, tested using two affected free applications:
OllyDbg 2.0 and Endless WAV 1.77 (https://www.bjoernbojahr.de/endlesswav.html).
In the case of Endless WAV, all audio playback stops when the application loses
focus. With everything in the application having a tooltip, this makes the
application nearly impossible to use in Wine.

However, I have found the following workarounds for the issue:

Workaround #1 (best): If you use the KDE Plasma 5 desktop environment, you can
set a window rule to avoid the tooltip stealing application focus:
1. Start the affected Wine application.
2. Click the app icon in the titlebar and go to More Actions -> Configure
Special Application Settings..., then go to the "Appearance & Fixes" tab, tick
the box for "Focus stealing prevention", and to the right of that select
"Force" and "Extreme", then click OK.

Workaround #2: Run winecfg, and from the "Graphics" tab, disable "Allow the
window manager to control the windows". You can add the affected app via the
Applications tab to prevent this setting from affecting all Windows programs
run in Wine. The drawback to this approach is the lack of window management you
now have.

Workaround #3: Run winecfg, and from the "Graphics" tab, enable "Emulate a
virtual desktop" and set the desktop size appropriately. You can add the
affected app via the Applications tab to prevent this setting from affecting
all Windows programs run in Wine. The drawback to this approach is that if you
try to run another program simultaneously in Wine, it will also be restricted
to the virtual desktop size.
