wine released 0.9.20 - package in portage this release introduced behavior in a specific game ( World of Warcraft) which makes playing exceptionally difficult. This bug is being opened for users -- likely will be fixed upstream . Please find attached fixes for this situation as provided by upstream as workaround in this particular edge case Behaviour is that wine0.9.20 will install and run well, WoW.exe will run, and behave well until the user enters a building or a city space, wherein the overlay becomes confused and locked. This results in flickering and difficulty playing. Workaround #1 (unpatched wine 0.9.20) the user has to hit the control sequence ALT Z (disabling the user interface overlay) before entering the building/city and LEAVE IT OFF until they leave the building. Workaround #2 - provided by upstream DEV - patch wine code as attached.

I have to note THIS post on wine: http://appdb.winehq.org/commentview.php?iAppId=1922&iVersionId=5606&iThreadId=14505 in which the patch as attached was provided. I've looked at what is patched, and what it's doing ... this looks like the window/child/parent/gl/pbuffer/pixbuf/xv issue fix -- likely will be a nightmare for someone to fix this edge case. I apologize, I misinterpreted what was said elsewhere -- I'm certain that wine will eventually work a fix, but I get the feeling it might take time.
