[1.3.20]-Capture The Mouse Works Great. Suggestions...

Hi,

I've been crying for a long time about mouse issues
while running a full screen game in an emulated desktop window,
but with newest Wine these issues are gone.

Would it be possible to have some hot key
that the user can press to uncapture the mouse?
For example, VirtualBox toggles mouse capture
by pressing the right [Ctrl] key on the keyboard.

Thanks again for fixing the mouse,
there are many more games I can play now.

I am also running full screen games in an emulated desktop, and I really miss
the feature of being able to have the mouse escape from the game so that I could
take a break from gaming without having to exit the game.

In the release notes for Wine 1.3.20 there was a phrase about having the
"option" to stop the mouse from escaping, but unless I am mistaken
there is no such option and the mouse is irrevocably trapped inside the game
until it is terminated.

Is this the case or am I missing something?

Thanks/
Torbj?rn

I assume you refer to the good old (but recently re-phrased) "Automatically
capture the mouse in full-screen windows" option?

I have always had that option unchecked, but, it no longer works, the mouse is
stuck within the borders of the game when I play Fallout New Vegas in virtual
fullscreen mode.
