Wine issues with ubuntu 22.04 and multiple monitors

I use Wine mostly for running Mikrotik's Winbox. I noticed some issues on Winbox's menus when the application is running on the secondary display.

If I open the winbox executable, drag to the secondary screen and click on the topmenu (File or Tools), the menu that should open just below "File" appears in a small size on the top left corner of my screen.

If I drag the application back to the first screen the issue will be gone and the menus will work just fine.

This problem wasn't happening on ubuntu 20.04.

Ubuntu 22.04
$ wine --version
wine-6.0.3 (Ubuntu 6.0.3~repack-1)

Thank you!

I had lots of issues with wine+winbox with setups counting 3-5 displays, both the rendering of windows and gui controls, the font issue and also the worst one the unhandled page fault which prevented me from launching winbox for few or 20+ times and after some tries of "launch, kill, repeat" it just starts to work until I close all the winbox windows. For the last one disconnecting of some or all displays for a moment helped. Please try the new wine v8 - it seems for me that winbox works now more stable - it launches every time.

Sorry to hear that, still I think you should try the newer version of wine, I've been using it and most of the glitches are gone. Few that still are visible are minor and it seems like those are on the winbox side of things.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
