Pipelight traps pointer and focus on some zaphod-style multiseat

[Chadwick-ferguson]

My xserver is setup by xconfig my default on my 2 head, 2 screen with one mouse and keyboard seat. http://pastebin.com/LwwWsG6a

I have tried all relevant configuration options however when videos from firefox in any display manager on DISPLAY=0.1 using pipelight plugin they trap the mouse when pipelight takes fullscreen.

The following pipelight configuration options have been tried with no difference:

windowlessMode = false/true
linuxWindowlessMode = true/false
embed = true/false
experimental-windowClassHook = true/false

I can open a google-chrome window like DISPLAY="0.1" google-chrome& and open flash videos fullscreen without cursor entrapment. however when I open firefox with any iteration of the below fullscreen traps cursor AND focus.

 DISPLAY="0.1" firefox&
 DISPLAY="0.1" kwin& DISPLAY="0.1" firefox&
 DISPLAY="0.1" openbox& DISPLAY="0.1" firefox&

Some workarounds to this:

Run seperate xserver instead and vnc into the pipelight environment.

Launch a window manager that supports shedding of decorations on windows and use "pop-out" mode on videos from amazon.com prime.

Hi,

which distribution are you using? (this information was also listed in the bug reporting guidelines). Maybe I can create a test package with a hack that prevents this problem.

I think both gentoo from sauce with your mingw bit and Ubuntu from 14.10
ppa have the problem. I'll have to test again on gentoo to confirm.

Hi,

I created a registry file which tells wine to completely disallow grabbing of the pointer. Can you please apply the registry changes and try again? Simply run:

 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-pipelight /usr/share/pipelight/wine regedit

and use Registry -> Import Registry File to apply it.

Just wanted to say that registry fix worked perfectly. With the popularity of multiple screen systems these days perhaps these settings should be a default?

Thanks,
Kev
