2014-01-04 11:26:55 Silviu C. description When running fullscreen application with wine which requires a resolution change, the resolution change happens but the Unity stuff still appears on screen and can be interacted with. More than that, it appears that somehow I get a big window that is "zoomed in" on the game. If a move the mouse to the screen edges I can get it to "scroll" and it shows me a black background. Example: The GoG version of the game Nox runs in 640x480 by default. If I don't check the "emulate desktop" for wine, the game will go fullscreen, the resolution will change but Unity is still visible. Screenshot will be attached. This is probably related to bug #734908 which has been marked as fixed... however, googling around it seems that people still have issues.
