I installed Stud.io 2.0 on an ubuntu 20.04 (linux) platform using wine 5. This
was successful and I can start and use the programm. However, when I switch from
the Stud.io window to another window (e.g. File Manger) and then I switch back
to the Stud.io window I find that Stud.io has completely frozen. At this point
the only thing that I can do is to completely shut down the application.

It is not clear to me whether this is a wine or a studio problem. Can anyone
help?

On a related issue: are there any plans for a Linux-compatible version of Stud.io?
I know that the question has been asked before and has been answered in the negative
but I was wondering whether there are any changes of plan.

Are you sure it’s frozen?
A common problem on Wine Studio doesn’t get the focus back.

You need to disable window management for Wine windows or use a virtual desktop
(both options in winecfg).

No.


Otherwise, the dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).

Please search the forum for your question before posting a new one (the search
box is in the very dark grey banner).
There’s indexes of known bugs and suggestions that you can browse first:

Yes, you are right: I have gone to winecgf and then, in the Graphics tab, I have
selected "emulate a virtual desktop". The problem I had reported has disappeared.

Many thanks for your assistance.
