cursor clipping issue?

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with cursor clipping (= the mouse pointer/cursor).
The mouse pointer can not leave the running eve client, unless I ALT+TAB out of the client.
I did not have this behaviour in the past and dono how to fix it.

Here some data:
Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) 64 bit
kernel to 3.2.0-31-generic
processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
RAM: 4 GB
NVIDIA Driver Version: 295.40
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti
wine 1.5.14

settings changed with winetricks:
ddr=opengl
mwo=force
psm=enabled
videomemorysize=default
vsm=hardware

(no grabfullscreen=y selected, default is grabfullscreen=n)

when checking the config using winecfg the tab 'graphics' has the following settings:
- Automatically capture the mouse in full-screen windows -> checked
- Allow the window manager to decorate the windows -> checked
- Allow the window manager to control the windows -> checked
- Emulate a virtual desktop -> NOT checked

I start the eve client with somthing like this:
wine explorer /desktop=One,1280x960 "C:\Program Files\CCP\One\eve.exe"
eve is starting fine and is behaving fine as long i do not need to move the mouse outside of the client.

and that is what i do not understand, since wine is NOT started in FULL-SCREEN, why is the cursor clipped???
Ok for the eve client thats something else, as eve things it is running in full-screen.
I have tried to set the eve client to windowed mode, but the only thing that changes is that the eveclient within the wine window has windowdecorations (winXP style).

So if i uncheck the 'Automatically capture the mouse in full-screen windows', the mouse can leave the eve client, but now when in the game, the mouse is not working right.
For example:
- icons do not light up when hovering above them as they should.
- when right clicking on something, i can not select the items in the popup menu (again they do not light up as they should) when the mouse is over them. when i click on them nothing happens, the popup menu disappears as if nothing has happened.

I have also tried to change the settings with winetricks (grabfullscreen=n) but thats the same behaviour.

I dono what else i can/should try to make it work as it used to.

Any help is welcome.

cheers
