wine users - Mar 2012 - Wine window glitch (WoW)

I've only really started using wine and linux on my pc. Already set up and
have working WoW on wine but i find difficulty when changing windows away from
the open wine window.
 First noticing this when I tried to take a screenshot of my WoW screen, the
screen then flashed with the blue back ground of my wine window, I was unable to
return to it without completely shutting off wine and going back into it.
Finding anyway the screenshot had taken a picture of my desktop background.
Even in windowed mode when running WoW my screen keeps flashing everytime i
mouse out of the window. Its not a major problem but it means i cannot open any
other window or take screenshots inside wine. Sorry for any lack of detail or
knowledge as i said im very new to the whole operating system and program.
I thank you for your patience and welcome any and all advice, if it helps im
running Ubuntu and wine 1.3.15

Probably won't help for this bug, but you might want to update to
latest wine (1.4 to date)

I'm fully agreed with you

Thanks, did the update some brilliant graphics but the sounds now crackling
constantly. See this is an ongoing issue with the update so I'll keep an eye
on it. Thanks for your replies :)
