Bug Description

Hello. when I open a game (League of Legends, World of Warcraft etc ....) with wine and enter fullscreen simply can not access the game. the only way to play the game is to get about 10-15 alt-tabs and click on the icon like 5-6 times....(first when u start the game u see the game just for 3 sec and the jumps back to the desktop , when u alt-tab and see the game and let go of the buttons alt-tab the windows is just jumping back to the desktop)
Have a nice Day!

A little bit of a temporary work-around: if you open a new empty workspace (Super+Down for workspace manager) the window won't have too much problem with grabbing focus. Focus really seems to be the biggest problem here for some reason.

I can confirm the bug an the work-around from Tobi: after double klick the app in Playonlinux i hide the window (super+h) and in 99% fullscreen is working (even on my second screen).

I can also confirm the behavior. Unfortunately this is a MAJOR bug for me because I use wine + Office 2010 for work and I am unable to have PowerPoint presentations displayed in full screen. The workaround of opening the program in a new workspace does not work 100%.

You can imagine that this is a showstopper as PowerPoint still is a widely used tool. Hope you guys can fix it!

This was an OS patch that was released a month or so ago, so I'm re-targeting to OS.
