Wine / Visual Foxpro 7 Problems (mouse click freezes the program)
Hi, First of all, apologies if I'm not posting this in the correct place. I'm successfully running Microsoft Visual Foxpro 7 under Wine, however I needed to use the native versions of shlwapi and oleaut32. There is a major problem still, however, and that is that foxpro will freeze as soon as I use the mouse to click in certain controls (the command window, a textbox, an edit box, others). After I kill Visual Foxpro, the output of Wine shows this: XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 18197 requests (18196 known processed) with 875 events remaining. I should also mention that while Visual Foxpro does freeze in that no further input or output will occur, as the mouse pointer moves any text in the control will either be selected or deselected... IOW the control seems to be acting as if I never released the mouse button and it instead thinks I'm trying to select text. I know that Visual Foxpro runs with its own controls - it does not descend from the Windows common controls. I've tried running with the following command, to attempt to figure out what is causing the issue: wine -debugmsg +relay vfp7.exe &> /tmp/vfp7-wine-debugmsg.txt however when I run this way, the mouse problem does not occur. So running with the relaying resolves the issue, but obviously it runs too slowly to be useful. And since it doesn't hang Visual Foxpro, I can't determine what call is causing the issue. I am new to Wine debugging and could use a few suggestions on how to proceed. I know that if I can get Visual Foxpro working on Linux the repurcussions for the Visual Foxpro community will be huge - new life will be breathed into the very product that Microsoft would rather see wither away.

We'll see how it goes :-)
