Repeat hanging on load screen

Sometimes when I start WoW it will enlarge so I can't see the titlebar (windowed in wine) and when I go to load a character it will hang on the loading screen. Other times I will be able to see the titlebar and it will work just fine... I'm running both innerspace and WoW through wine on ubuntu and so far my only fix is to keep opening WoW and hoping that I can see the titlebar. Does anyone know of a better fix?

You can always change the size and position of the window through the IS console. If you think it's related to the window positioning, try hitting SHIFT+ALT+N, which will move the window where you can see the title bar, and size it to 1024x768. You can also use the [[ISKernel:WindowSize_%28Command%29|WindowSize]] or [[ISKernel:WindowPos_%28Command%29|WindowPosition]] commands manually, like so:

Code: Select all

windowsize -viewable 800x600
windowpos 10,10

I've tried resizing the window and it will hang if the titlebar is outside the screen I can see, but if it's inside it will load just fine (will work if I move it down as well so I can see the titlebar.) However it will promptly crash and the wowerror.exe will pop up
