While this patch makes some of my test apps work better,one
exhibits a regression :
winhelp. I use Nt4 Sp3,the file is dated from 1997; I did not
test other versions.
The problem is that the first window appears behind all other
non-Wine windows,
so it seems to vanish. If I bring it to the foreground it is
functional as before.
Of course the way this app is displaying is very specific.
If you want traces, etc, I'll take one week of holidays this
Friday so don't waste time
if you are interested. Or later (in 10 days :-))
Anyway, I would not be surprised if other versions of winhelp
have the same
problem, so it's possible you will be able to reproduce it.
I presume this is what's happenning:
1. The window is created with widht=0 and heigh=0
2. The window is then activated/put on the foreground
3. Then the size of the window is changed to something that make sense.
I'm not sure how to fix this problem yet, I will need to think about it. I
should be able to find the right winhelp reproducing this behvior. I've got
just a couple quick questions on your setup:
Are you using any native DLL?
Which desktop/WM are you using? (KDE? Gnome?) Some Window managers are very
sensitive to Z ordering with Wine.
