[Bug 14286] New: winhelp: window size/position changed whenever link or navigation button is clicked
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14286 Summary: winhelp: window size/position changed whenever link or navigation button is clicked Product: Wine Version: 1.1.0 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: programs AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: markk(a)clara.co.uk For some help files, Wine winhelp moves and resizes the main window whenever links or navigation buttons are clicked. Windows 95 winhelp does not do that. To demonstrate, download msdncd.hlp from http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=14568 Open the file in Wine winhelp, then move or resize the window. As soon as you click a link or button, the window is moved to its previous size and position. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

I have not compared behaviour with MS-Windows. In the case of Contraptions.hlp, this is particularly annoying as the window is so large that the close and iconify buttons are outside the screen. - Contraptions: The Return of the Incredible Machine = (German) Professor Tim: die Rückkehr der verrückten Werkstatt - SimCity 3000 (German) - SimCity 2000 Urban Renewal Kit (German) - Age of Empires 1 Does not affect: + WinAce.hlp + SimCity 2000 (German) Perhaps it's not a bug and there's some flag in the .hlp files to control this behaviour? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14286 --- Comment #4 from Jörg Höhle <hoehle(a)users.sourceforge.net> 2009-03-09 03:22:08 --- I can now confirm this misbehaviour, as on a MS-w2k system no click within the .hlp files causes a change of window size or position. However the following differences are noteworthy on ms-w2k: + SimCity 2000 (German) : remembers window position and size across invocations of winhlp32 while - Contraptions (German) - SimCity 2000 Urban Renewal Kit (German) : always restart with a fixed windows position and size (full screen and approx. half screen size respectively). So it seems like indeed there exists a flag in the .hlp file to say either "open window with these dimensions" or "don't care", and the bug may be that in Wine this flag is not consulted once like in MS-Windows, but on every click. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Testing with Wine 1.2's winhlp32, at least some help files still have this problem. Open the attached v3_spc.hlp file in Wine winhlp32. Move, resize or maximise its window. Click on a link and notice the window gets resized (which doesn't happen with winhlp32.exe from Windows). The resizing also happens when you click the << or >> buttons (but not when you click the Back button). Another thing that might be relevant: after clicking on a link, resize/move/maximise the window. Click the Summary button. The window is resized. Resize/move/maximise the window again. Click Summary again. That doesn't change the document page (already on the front page), and the window position does not change either. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

However I cannot confirm Mark's first observation using the file he attached (nor any other): moving or resizing (not maximizing) the window, then clicking links, "back", "<<", ">>" or "summary" does not change the size. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
