I didn't enable the apply button (shame on me) in fact, there are two sets of configuration options: - the current and the default - the current only applies to the current opened console, whereas the default eventually gets saved into the registry - the current configuration set is opened with the 'properties' item in the menu - the default configuration set is opened with the 'default' item in the menu - it's the way NT2000 console behaves... not very ergonomic I admit ;-) > - The default font is not fixed pitch.

Strange. did you remove any entry from the registry before starting the testings ? > - IDA text display is slow, it does a lot of redraws all the time. > > I tried the following patch, which makes redraws async: I think there are two different issues: - wineconsole redraws itself by entire row, which is slow, especially when the program writes character by character. two optimizations could be made here 1/ implement partial row update 2/ the wineconsole could 'compress' incoming messages (especially updates), so that some operations could be factorized (like screen blitting) - painting operations. sometimes, it seems the input gets frozen, and paint events are not generated until the mouse moves for example... this goes down to internal message passing and I didn't have the guts to look into it yet > - Mouse presses should be sent as input events. If I get too annoyed I just > can just implement it ;) if you want to ;-) however, mouse events must be handled with care. they can either mean mouse click events to be generated, but also copy area selection Windows NT2000 console provides a switch (through the hereabove mentionned menu to enable one or the other more...). it's even more ergonomic than before ;-)) > - wineconsole without arguments crashes: thanx. that's fixed.
