games under wine and mouse "stuck" in the middle?

Typical BS from wine in fact BS from DirectInput, some games are working then on other games the fucking cursor stuck on the middle of the screen.

open a terminal then:


$ winetricks mwo=disable


The states of mwo (MouseWarpOverride) are:


mwo=disable  Set DirectInput MouseWarpOverride to disable

mwo=enabled  Set DirectInput MouseWarpOverride to enabled (default)
mwo=force    Set DirectInput MouseWarpOverride to force (needed by some games)

but on some games (eg S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series) this option needs to setup as disable

UI bug on chrome....

Its since a while that I had an annoying issue with chrome, context menu or bookmark menus displayed a black background for some msec before display the the menu entries, very annoying indeed. Happened just on my linux installation -any linux installation that I tried btw, while on windoze the chrome was fine.
I reported that bug reported sometime ago, but got a "wontfix" status.

After some tests I just discovered that this bug is eliminated at least using the v76 of the google chrome (unstable).
