[Alberto Salvia Novella]

HOW TO REPRODUCE
1. In the "Configure Wine" application, go to the graphics tab.
2. Under the "window settings" section, check the three first boxes and uncheck the latest.
3. Run a Windows application in full-screen mode using a screen resolution different from the default in the desktop.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR
- The application to be presented in full-screen.

REAL BEHAVIOUR
- As seen in the attached screen-shot.

Also affects Wine 1.7.30.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37496 points to be a bug in Unity.

Also (unsurprisingly) an issue in Crossover (15.2 on Ubuntu 16.04), for example using the default crosstie for Age of Empires 2.

I guess since Unity will be thrown away, this issue is going to be resolved in some way :)

@ Markhor

If you are concerned with a big problem, just wait. Either the problem will be gone, or you will :P
