[Solved} Wine - small titlebar

Hallo,
on specific windows (i don't know the exact 'window style') i get a too small titlebar (with too small font). This happens on different programs (eg. Notepad++, ClrMamePro) so its probably a general issue for this window style. That window is a standard microsoft 'window style' that only has a 'close' button and smaller titlebar by design (but not so small though).
ttf-win7-fonts and 'winetricks corefonts' are installed. GTK decorations (in wine options) have been disabled as well (for testing purpose).

Anyone know how to fix this or can confirm that problem?

XFCE
Wine 1.9.21

Edit: Solved... just cleared the "bottle" (config folder) and restarted from scratch. Problem gone.

Re: [Solved} Wine - small titlebar

I'd like to expand on your solution because blowing away the wine profile might be a bigger hassle than the fix.

The problem is a corrupted setting in the WindowMetrics section of ~/.wine/user.reg

[Control Panel\\Desktop\\WindowMetrics]
"BorderWidth"="-15"
"CaptionHeight"="-270"
"CaptionWidth"="-270"
"IconSpacing"="-1125"
"IconTitleWrap"="1"
"IconVerticalSpacing"="-1125"
"MenuHeight"="-270"
"MenuWidth"="-270"
"PaddedBorderWidth"="0"
"ScrollHeight"="-240"
"ScrollWidth"="-240"
"SmCaptionHeight"="-225"
"SmCaptionWidth"="-225"

You can copy and paste the relevant default lines back in.  If you're curious as to what the defaults are just create a temporary .winetmp with a command like:

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.winetmp winecfg

Now open ~/.winetmp/user.reg and find the relevant section.  Copy and paste from the new to the old, then delete the .winetmp profile.
