What have I done to my debugger?
I'm getting the wrong sort of terminal. Why? I vaguely remember doing something to the registry settings for the debugger about a month ago but I can't remebber what. Since then I have not been tripping it anyway. However I am now investigating a problem that does trip the debugger. However it now comes up with an enormous terminal of some sort with terrible font and bad agreement between font and cursor positioning, so that important data disappears off the right of the screen before wrapping. However in the old days it used to use an xterm. I'd like to go back to that. Did I do that or is it a result of the stuff going on with the debugger? TIA Bill p.s. Merry Christmas to all.

That is a wineconsole, I think. Eric is still working on it.

A little of each, I think. Latest cvs might have some fixes but I haven't tried it with the debugger on a wineconsole yet. If wine's stdin/stdout/stderr are connected to an xterm, (if you run wine from an xterm, FI) the debugger will use it, I think. If not, it will use a wineconsole. To also capture traces to a file, I think wine blah.exe 2>&1 | tee logfile will still let the debugger use the xterm.
TIA

you can change the size of the font it doesn't suit you. right click in the console window, then choose the default settings.. here, set up the font you'd like. it'll be saved into the registry and used at next wineconsole invocation A+ -- --------------- Eric Pouech (http://perso.wanadoo.fr/eric.pouech/) "The future will be better tomorrow", Vice President Dan Quayle

Impressive. It's a long time since I discovered a way to lock up the Linux box solidly but that does the job nicely. :-( When I right click on the window I get offered a menu including a "defaults". When I select that I get a dialog with three groups of controls; a cursor size, a history and a "conf" something. I see no suggestion of font. Also the three buttons look to be poorly placed and do not appear to be selectable. The only choice I appear to have is to remove the dialog with the x in the top right, which is when the machine hangs. (No mouse, no keyboard). I think I'll just go with redirecting. Bill

I see no suggestion of font. the dialog box should have three property sheets. the first one if the one you see, the second one is font related do you have similar issues with other dialog boxes ?

No, but I wouldn't worry about it if it is working on other people's. (It looks like some sort of problem with the Tab sheets) Bill p.s. Happy New Year

(It looks like some sort of problem with the Tab sheets) well, try at least the patch I just sent, it may fix some issues (at least the memory hog issue and the potential X11 crash)
p.s. Happy New Year Happy New Year to all wine addicts too !!
