Bug Description

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu hardy (development branch)"

compiz 1:0.6.99+git20080204-0ubuntu1

The MMORPG game Tibia 8.1 (http://www.tibia.com/ - http://download.tibia.com/tibia810.tgz) does;
* Work perfect without Compiz in fullscreen mode.
* Work perfect without Compiz in windowed mode.
* Work perfect with Compiz in fullscreen mode.
* Work strange with Compiz in windowed mode.

I have noticed the problem seems to be the "Window Decoration" plugin in Compiz. Since when I disable it in "CompizConfig Settings Manager" and restart Tibia, it works perfect in windowed mode too. But if I have "Window Decoration" plugin enabled and run Tibia, then it behaves strange.

The strange behavior in the game (when "Window Decoration" plugin is enabled, and game is running in windowed-mode) is that;
* You cannot open containers on the ground (such as bags, backpacks, etc) by right-clicking on the item and selecting "Open" in the context menu.
* You cannot follow players by right-clicking on them in the battle menu and selecting "Follow" in the context menu.

This seems to some kind incompatibility issue or bug in the "Window Decoration" plugin for Compiz. Maybe the game is too strange.

I also get this problem with Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" and the Compiz that ships with it, and earlier versions of Tibia such as 8.0
So it is not only a problem of 8.04 Alpha4 "Hardy Heron", or the latest version of Compiz or the latest version of Tibia.

Hi there
you report this issue some time ago and hasn't been any activity since then, i was wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest upgrades in Hardy Heron.

Thanks in advance

Basilio Kublik,
Yes, I do still have this issue.

As a workaround, I change the "Decoration windows" settings in "Window Decorator" plugin from "any" to "(any) & !(title=Tibia Player Linux)".
Then it works, but then I have to live without window decoration (application bar, title bar, close button, etc), which is less than optimal.

I can confirm this bug, not personally but a user in the swedish ubuntu-forum had the same issue. After installing fusion-icon he turns off Compiz when playing Tibia and he says it works fine.

Confirmed, it seems that when selecting something from the game menu (that you get when right clicking), it just doesn't click the option.

As I experience it, when the menu pop-up and you click an option it clicks "under" the menu-pop-up instead. For example, making you walk to that spot in game.

When turning off "Window decoration", it works properly.

Ubuntu 8.10
Linux 2.6.27-11-generic

This problem seem to have been corrected in Ubuntu 9.04. Atleast after a quick check it seem to work properly since I made the update.

RickardJ seems to be right.
I am now running 9.04 and I do not seem to experience this bug anymore.
