Note that Wine 5.16 appears to have broken the SimSig window layout.

Here's the screenshot. The main view appears in the corner, and even if you resize or move it, it goes back to the corner once you scroll. Post has attachments. Log in to view them. AJP in games Last edited: 04/09/2020 at 23:31 by GeoffM Reason: None given Log in to reply |

There was an update to WINE a few months (years?) ago that did something vaguely similar. It turned out to be a bug in WINE that eventually got fixed. Not sure there is anything I can do.

I bisected it to the following commit in Wine: https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commit/c5ec1585f6e5211a2b63e3435748210552250534 Apparently SimSig was broken by a one-line (!) change to accommodate full screen windows (which SimSig is not using) on KWin (a window manager that I am not using.) Bug created on the Wine bugzilla: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49779 By the way, please split this thread from kbarber's internet connectivity problems which are unrelated to this graphical issue.

Thanks for this. I have a suggestion on another forum (haven't had time to try it yet) that 5.15 or 5.16 (devel versions, apparently - not sure my dinosaur brain does clever stuff like that) may be what I need. Clearly I need to stick to 5.15 when I try it out... thanks for th eheads up.

I think the most convenient way to get a development edition is to get the pre-built packages from the repository for Ubuntu. If you add that to your system, you will get 5.16 but the older versions are still online, so you can manually install these packages instead of adding the repository. Assuming you use Ubuntu 20.04 (according to your thread on the Wine forum which I accidentally came across yesterday), I have looked up the packages for 5.15: wine-devel-i386 wine-devel-amd64 wine-devel Please remove your existing Wine and then install them in this order ^ AJP in games Last edited: 05/09/2020 at 12:31 by Albert Reason: order of packages changed Log in to reply |

I have received a reply on the bug I entered and it appears to be specific to the Cinnamon desktop environment.

For what it's worth: the bug got fixed in the window manager for the Mate desktop by a Wine developer and based on that, I was able to fix it myself in the Cinnamon desktop. As the patches have been accepted, this should be fixed in the next releases of distros with the Mate or Cinnamon desktop. For reference the relevant commits: Mate: https://github.com/mate-desktop/marco/commit/60f49ae5a272b737a944065e4199c8b2c8eec8b1 Cinnamon: https://github.com/linuxmint/muffin/commit/45c631cfc34de5022e5cc8c42f8b7c04991f8afc AJP in games Log in to reply The following user said thank you: GeoffM |
