OS X doesn't have the same concept of maximized windows as Windows does.
There's no mode that prevents a normally-resizable window from being resized.
If a window is "zoomed", it mostly fills the screen but the user can still
move or resize it, at which point it ceases to be in the zoomed state. So,
users are confused and frustrated when they can't resize a window that's
maximized.
To get similar behavior while still respecting Win32 semantics, we now let the
user try to resize maximized windows. (The resize cursors are shown at the
edges of the window frame.) When they start, a request is submitted to the app
to restore the window. Unless and until the window is restored, we don't
actually allow the window to change its size.
The user expects to resize the window from its current (maximized) position.
It should not jump to its normal position upon being restored. So, we set the
window's normal position to its current position before restoring it.
The Mac driver can generate scroll wheel events with values which are not integral
multiples of WHEEL_DELTA. Apps should handle that by scrolling a corresponding
non-integral multiple of what they'd do for a WHEEL_DELTA-valued scroll or, if
they can't, then at least accumulate scroll distance until its magnitude exceeds
WHEEL_DELTA and do a "chunky" scroll. However, many apps don't do that properly.
They may scroll way too far/fast or even in the opposite direction.
If the registry setting UsePreciseScrolling is set to "n", the Mac driver will do
that accumulation and chunking itself to work around such broken app behavior.
Many games clip the cursor to the client area of the window. However, on OS X,
the resizing controls extend into that client area. So, it's possible that
while playing, the user might unintentionally click in the resizing area and
drag, resizing the window.
The user is prevented from moving or resizing a maximized window. The zoom
button is still present and enabled for a maximized window but requests that
it be restored rather than simply resizing it, which is what it does for
normal windows.
If a window is not resizable (lacks WS_THICKFRAME) but has a maximize box
(WS_MAXIMIZEBOX), then the zoom button requests that it be maximized rather
than resizing it.
This simulates some of what would happen if user32 were managing the drag. The
click in the caption would cause WM_SYSCOMMAND/SC_MOVE. The processing of that
message is synchronous and doesn't return until the move is complete.
Some games require that "blocking" in the internal event loop to prevent them
from misbehaving during the drag.
Some programs minimize windows which are outside of the desktop. The Mac
driver had been leaving such windows ordered out, which prevented them from
minimizing and appearing on the Dock. That, in turn, made it difficult for
the user to restore them.
Queries can be run out of order because the main thread is waiting on the
response. The main thread didn't really need a response from QUERY_RESIZE_END.
It was only a query for symmetry with QUERY_RESIZE_START.
The Mac driver was already sending these events when the user resizes the
window by dragging its corner/edges, but there are other occasions when the
window frame changes. For example, when the user zooms the window.
This fixes a problem where windows could spontaneously re-minimize after
being unminimized. Cocoa would see the window unminimize. It would queue
a WINDOW_DID_UNMINIMIZE event. While that event was pending, Wine might do
something which caused set_cocoa_window_properties() to be called and tell
Cocoa to conform itself to the current Win32 state. The current Win32 state
still had the window minimized, so Cocoa would re-minimize the window. It
would even discard the WINDOW_DID_UNMINIMIZE event.
Added a registry setting to control the behavior: WindowsFloatWhenInactive
with possible values "none", "all, and "nonfullscreen" which is the default.
Some events are application-wide, not specific to a thread. Such an event
needs to be broadcast to all GUI-attached threads because we don't know which
are handling events, but we don't want the event to be processed in each.
Often it should only be processed by the first to pull it from its queue.
