wine users - May 2011 - Re: Newer Wine Fails to draw Bitmap Graphics (Regression)

An eMail I posted relating to getting this into future updates (my last cry for
help before I accept I must compile the git patched every update, every
install):
> Hello I've been following the progress of WINE for many years, and over
the last 2 years been a strong user of it, the only bug that has affected me
personally is a BIG bug that affects everyone, they just don't know how
simple it was to bypass the problem.

in person might be the best avenue to get it included publicly, I have been
compiling the reverted code change in to every git version of Wine I use without
side effects, so I've tested hundreds of apps and games with this fix
(removal of incomplete color downscale bug if no bitdepth is given, just draws
the bitmap area as white).

> I hope that someone finally takes the time to implement this fix for the
good of the project all round and not just the usual one or two dll calls to get
a single game functioning (as seen in the latest 1.3.20 Change log), this bug
affects ALL alphablended 2d layers that don't use directx and a few other
bitmap space declares,

I sure couldn't without the fix either ;)

action. Don't care how or who, just want this product to work as it's
supposed to again.
