I have originally asked this question on comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine and due to hints there, I am posting it here in order to get further help. Here is my problem: Please refer to this image: http://www.brod.com.br/files/images/Captura_de_tela.png The mouse and keyboard shortcuts work fine, except in the small window. If you click on Geral, Conte?do, OK or Cancelar, it works. In the internal window, however, clicking on Incluir, Alterar, Excluir, Consultar just doesn't work. Using the keyboard shortcuts, however (Alt+I, Alt+A, Alt+E and Alt+C) it works fine. This was version wine 1.0.1-0ubuntu6 Rein (from comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine) recommended I should upgrade to the newest development version. So I did. Now the following happens: Wine (1.1.32) just doesn't seem to understand what I type. The characters doesn't show up and even if I blind type the correct user and password I cannot pass the first screen. However, other applications such as Firefox for Windows work fine so I am assuming this is an application specific problem. A new screenshot is here http://www.brod.com.br/files/images/Captura_de_tela_Zeta.png As the application worked fine under wine 1.0.1-0ubuntu6 (other than the mouse clicks I mentioned before) I am pretty much sure I might have left something behind. Rein recommended me to remove the ~/.wine and install wine from the start again. I did and the problem remains the same. Any hints? Thanks! Cesar

I am trying to do a regression test, so I can learn how to do it. Things went quite well during the compilation phase. There is a "make install" missing on CC="ccache gcc" ./configure --verbose && make depend && make on the instructions page (http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting) and wine-gecko was only "recognized" by my system after a reboot (an ldconfig might have done the job). Anyway, I got this after the git bitsect commands and I wonder if it is Ok to move on with the regression testing... brod-laptop wine-git # git bisect start brod-laptop wine-git # git bisect good wine-1.0.1 brod-laptop wine-git # git bisect bad wine-1.1.32 Bisecting: 7915 revisions left to test after this [ded6c50b78c7aea98317338e11d1ee6dffd8a015] oleaut32/tests: Fix missing void in empty parameter list.

I am working through a series of issues and I just ran into a bug myself. I think I know what caused the error and I'm reverting a patch that was installed almost a year ago. This is because I stopped working on a patch to fix a missing function and recently picked it up again. I wish that I had kept up with it as it would have been incorporated already. I hope that Huw can find a workable solution. Did you include a location where the program (or a demo/trial version that demonstrates the issue) can be downloaded? James McKenzie
Hi James, the app is a very proprietary software made specifically for one customer :-( However, they authorized me to run a version with local data to perform the tests on Linux. I am pretty sure the company who wrote it (Zeta, a local Brazilian company) would allow me to provide a zipped version of what I have if needed for debugging purposes. I will check with them on Monday. I wonder if I could reverse the patch I found to cause this error myself without breaking wine... By now, I will just wait for some answers on bugs.winehq.org Thanks! Cesar
