.
Open the folder with Winbox application (/Applications/), hold ctrl + shift and double click on Winbox-mac.app. For me this workaround works for now.

Updated today (using brew) from 3.38 to 3.40 and now I have the same problem.
Can't click anywhere in the window:

❯ brew info --cask nrlquaker-winbox

❯ sw_vers
ProductName: macOS
ProductVersion: 14.1.1
BuildVersion: 23B81

Additional info:
Tried completely removing it and installing from 0 , now it works. This leads me to think, it is somehow related to the "winbox settings migration" that happened between these versions.

Still happening in 3.40.0 for me

Just happily bouncing away in the dock!

When killed it leaves behind all these processes:

which I kill with:

sudo killall -9 wine64-preloader

sudo killall -9 wine64-preloader

thanks.. this solve the problem

I tried brew remove and brew install but it still bounces. What would be the steps to fully purge-remove the app and any dependencies and reinstall from scratch?
It does seem that stale processes of wine64-preloader may be the cause. Why are these getting left running?

I had my first installation on a clean system, I got the problem right away :(
