I think this has been noted in previous posts by others, but I'm noticing it with post-version 1 builds of Darwine for OSX and I'm wondering if there's any way to fix it. The behavior is hard to describe but here goes: when using either Irfanview or Forte Agent, mouse activity in the Windows app causes the window to move downward on the desktop. Each click, the windows jumps lower. In Agent, clicking on a different newsgroup causes this behavior, which can move the Agent window all the way down the screen (and off the bottom). When using Irfanview, the same behavior occurs when in the Thumbnail viewer and attempting to select a folder. I do not see this happening with version Darwine 0.9.53, but I have encountered it with Darwine 1 RC4 and Darwine 1.1.1. It makes both Agent and Irfanview pretty much unusable, so I've retreated to 0.9.53. My version of X11 is 1.1.3, if that helps. I am running OSX Tiger (10.4.11) on a MacBook. Does anyone know what's causing this, or even better, how to make it stop?
I'm observing the same issue with various programs in Darwine. I've only tried using v1.1.1 so far using XQuartz 2.2.3 on MacOSX10.5.4 (Leopard). Some installers have a progress bar, which shifts down by about the height of the top Mac menubar every time it progresses or other information changes in the dialog. Attempting to install Poser Figure Artist is successful, but I cannot register it, as the menus shift down so fast it is not possible to grab them before they go offscreen. I've just asked about it on x11-users at lists.apple.com

And apparently Apple promised to fix it... at some point in the future. >I will agree and XQuartz 2.3 may or may not fix this. This is supposedly fixed in Wine, however. I'm waiting on Darwine 1.1.3 to confirm if this fixes it for the Mac. I plan on installing both this weekend, time permitting, as Monday is a holiday in the U.S. James McKenzie
