I just installed mIRC again. It always worked until now. I use the latest Wine 1.9.5 version on Ubuntu 14.04.4 desktop. When mIRC starts up it will show the option dialog (alt-o) which I can't remove off the screen. I can't press any button in the dialog. So I can't do anything with mIRC. I now run mIRC 6.32 but I always tried other versions and the latest versions. They all have the same problem as I reported above.
Is there a fix for this?
I hope what I have requested is possible.

Reproducing the bug:
When mirc is minimized while holding down CTRL, it locks itself with a password. The dialogs for setting and later on entering the password are broken in this situation because they do not accept any input. (ALT-Tab and similar tricks seem not to help.) Mirc doesn't crash, just doesn't restore its window and keeps it "locked".
The real problem is that this also happens when using, for example, ALT+CTRL+LEFT/RIGHT to switch WM desktops, or presumably any other combination that involves CTRL.
There are many possible Workarounds:
* Use mirc in Fullscreen mode (F11). That seems to avoid the minimization event.
* Run mirc in a wine Virtual Desktop (use winecfg to enable that).
* Change the shortcuts for the WM
Of course, it would be nice if the dialog would just work as intended.
Note: The (presumably same) dialogs work when they are called from the Options menu -> Other -> Lock -> Lock/Unlock button.
Versions:
mirc 7.22
wine-1.3.15 (Ubuntu 11.04, Gnome 2.x, no 3d compositing)
I hope this is useful to some.
Regards

- Help file doesn't work any more - at all (note: 6.35 help file does work (with previous issues: no autoscrolling to an item, but opening page and you have to search yourself, ...)
- Some flickering can appear when you change channel window, sometimes it changes to the wrong window too
- Screen can disappear on a Compiz crash, but it returns when clicking the tray icon
- ctrl-a in script editor still doesn't work - it does in the normal textbox though
- Asking for attention on the taskbar
