wine users - Apr 2008 - Copying error messages text to the clipboard in Wine 0.960

In Wine should you be able to copy the error message boxes thrown up by Windows
programs by using the windows copy shortcut, Ctrl-C or does Linux/Ubuntu use
another key sequence?

Should be Ctrl+C, but there are some inconsistencies/bugs when
copy/pasting. What error message are you talking about?

Yes, if you can copy them like that in Windows.

Many error boxes aren't selectable even under Windows.
For those, you have to either get a screenshot or run with
  WINEDEBUG=+text
and pick the message out of the log.

Attempting to capture an error message from TMG7
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=10500 when the
program sometimes throw up an error box titled "Microsoft Visual
FoxPro". I did manage to get a screenshot.

Managed to find this

So the error box may be generated and handled by the application.

Will try that next time.

Thank you

I have been unable to recreate this error on Win XP and so far have only seen it
on Wine only twice.  I have used winetricks to install dcom98 and don't
believe I can report errors.

Otherwise I would be reporting that when running TMG7 and the program is not
maximized the whole program window slowly steps down the screen when you try to
do any action (otherwise I keep the program maximized).
