Wine 1.1.6 Workspace Switching Problem (WoW)

[Mad-Halfling]

Got a strange one, I run WoW on WINE with no problems at all. I have firefox running on the next workspace while I play in case I need to look up items, quests, etc and switch fine with <ctrl><alt>left/right. However, after the last update, when I switch back to ws1 (where wow runs full screen) the first time, wow appears windowed, if I switch to ws2 then back to ws1 it's full screen again, and if I switch back and forth again it windowed again. Anyone else getting this (or can check to see if they get it) and any ideas how to fix it?

Cheers

What do you mean by "last update"? Is it wine update?

If what you mean by last update is wine update, then downgrade wine will fix it.

Yes, I saw that post and it's destined to get messy. I'd rather control it using the package manager, have you worked out a way to revert back to 1.1.5 cleanly? Or even better, fix/report the issue.
