Re: Re[11]: Wine 20050310 redraw problems (specifically with Paint Shop Pro 7)
Just to say that I've just tried Wine 20050524 and all the problems are *almost* fixed (20050419 was still broken, so the fixes have crept in since then) A new image in PSP correctly draws/clears itself. Tooltips *almost* clean up after themselves, except when the tooltip's right edge goes over the drawing window's right edge, or the tooltip's bottom edge goes over the drawing window's bottom edge. In those two situations traces of the tooltip get left behind on the image canvas until the display is refreshed manually (desktop switch, dragging another window in front etc.). No problems at the top or left boundaries though, just right / bottom. Pop-up menus behave in exactly the same way as tooltips; they get cleared OK if they're wholly within the image canvas (or overlapping top / left edges), but don't force a redraw when they're overlapping right / bottom margins of the image canvas window. The image canvas now correctly redraws itself when other X or Wine windows obscure it and then move away, or I switch desktops etc. I've seen one total application lockup when moving another X window across the front of the PSP ones managed by Wine, but I need to do some more investigation there to try and figure out what symptoms cause it though. Still, looking good on the whole, so a big thanks to whoever's been messing with the redraw code lately! (Vitaly?) cheers Jules

So in theory, it's just the relevant bit... ... I've also filtered out WM_MDIGETACTIVE, WM_GETDLGCODE and WM_IDLEUPDATECMDUI as they ate up a lot of log space and didn't seem to related to this redraw problem.

Oh, I filtered out all WM_* events and compared them too; there's no missing WM_* events from the later code, although my simple checks there wouldn't detect if the order in which things happened changed. Note that the diff output is very similar, apart from a few places where the order of things seems to get swapped around a little (next challenge for me is to figure out which of these messages are relevant and what they mean!). snapshot of the working new image window in 20041201, cleared as it should be with the checkered background: http://www.patooie.com/temp/wine20041201.jpg ... and a snapshot of the broken window as happens in 20050111 and later (not cleared, and with the remains of the 'new image' dialog box still visible): http://www.patooie.com/temp/wine20050111.jpg cheers Jules

Am I right in thinking that everything in dlls/x11drv/* handles events between wine and the rest of the Unix desktop, whilst everything in windows/* handles the event structure and clipping between wine windows? My understanding is x11drv is more low-level interaction with X. Everything in windows/* belongs to dlls/user. And dlls/user/ is more of a top level type of things. Bellow all of this is server/ that tracks a number of things, but (as I understand) doesn't do anything itself. For example: SetWindowPos is defined in dlls/user/winpos.c, but all it does, is calls X11DRV_SetWindowPos in dlls/x11drv/winpos.c (for console apps it's somewhere else). Then X11DRV_SetWindowPos does the whole work itself, using some information from the server for that. The problem, as I see it, comes from two places: 1. Wine does not have full implementation of number of things, or it's not correct (good enough for apps people where running when they implemented that part). 2. Interaction with X and window manager (wm) puts some restrictions to what can and can not be done. If certain thing is missing from X then it can't be implemented in wine (like some of OpenGL stuff). Same goes for wm (like handling of WM_MINIMIZE/WM_MAXIMIZE). It requires closer interaction with wm which is not implemented yet.

Wine 20050310 redraw problems (specifically with Paint Shop Pro 7)
I remember posting about this quite a while ago but decided to revisit it, and it seems like it's still an issue in the 20050310 build of wine. Wine has real trouble with refreshing drawing surface windows in Paint Shop Pro 7: - the background in a new image window isn't cleared - tools that display tooltips (such as the colour selector control) leave tooltip debris all over the drawing surface when they're moved around. - drawing surface isn't refreshed if partially / totally obscured by other windows and then made visible again. Normal windows, dialogs etc. are working fine (and tooltips work fine too above normal controls) - it would seem that the drawing surfaces in PSP7 are handled differently (presumably for speed reasons) and wine is having some serious problems handling them. Any ideas for a workaround / patch, or is this bug known about and in the pipeline to be sorted out? I've exhausted various options in the Wine config file to do with display output; the problem seems to be in core code somewhere. I get the following error message at startup as follows: fixme:ole:CoRegisterMessageFilter stub followed by several: err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=(nil) ... the latter used to happen an awful lot in earlier wine builds whilst the app was being used, but note that it's *not* happening with the 20050310 build whilst I try and use the app; only at startup time. (In other words, it's quite possibly not related to the redraw issues at all) Any ideas? PSP7 is so almost there that it'd be a shame if it wasn't 100%... Happy to provide further details if someone gives me instructions as to what to look at! cheers Jules

Re: Wine 20050310 redraw problems (specifically with Paint Shop Pro 7)
I'll second that. I have a small win32 app that I wrote years ago in Delphi 2. It had some fancy redrawing to give rounded degraded borders to windows. This completely locks up on recent wine versions.
