Summary: version information functionality (ver.dll, version.dll)
badly broken
Product: Wine
Version: CVS
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: wine-misc
AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.com
ReportedBy: andi(a)rhlx01.fht-esslingen.de
Current version management code doesn't seem to work properly in a lot of cases.
GetFileVersionInfoA is said to only work with Win32 file images on MSDN, yet our
code happily parses any kind of file information, both Win16 and Win32, and,
worse yet, it even sometimes returns the *wrong* kind of format
(as can be witnessed by running UltimateZip 2.7 - well, trying to run, that is...).
I'm about to submit some test cases for version information code, and I'm also
thinking
of deliberately changing the code quite a lot in order to fix the worst issues,
but of course this will then break a lot of other things, thus forcing someone
to properly redesign this code (I currently really don't have time to do that).
IMHO having a properly working version information code is pretty important,
and the code seems to also be quite broken, thus leading to problems with lots
of programs, so I assigned it a severity of "major".
(another example of version problems seems to be the thread "Ulead Mediastudio
2.5 on Wine" on c.e.m.w.)
What needs to be done IMHO is to first design very thorough (all-encompassing)
test cases on Windows to be used on Wine
(check Win16/Win32 file images, check for proper ASCII/Unicode handling, ...,
so in total we might end up having some maybe 6 up to 10 different test cases),
and then one would have to correct the current code (and still keeping in mind
that we need to handle our own version information in our .so libraries properly !).

Summary: Fixed width font fields in Windows are variable width in
WINE
Product: Wine
Version: CVS
Platform: PC
URL: http://notetab.com/
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: wine-gui
AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.com
ReportedBy: kirby(a)earthlink.net
Fixed width font fields in Windows are variable width in WINE. You can verify
this by opening up NOTEPAD.EXE in Wine. Instead of the fixed
width (teletype/courier) font for displaying characters in the text field,
Wine supplies a variable width solution. This is only a minor problem when
using NOTEPAD.EXE. But it is a major problem when using software that assumes
a fixed width font. This pertains specifically to my favorite text editor,
NoteTab Pro. It runs very well with WINE except that it renders the text (and
the blinking cursor) incorrectly because it expects a fixed width text field
but Wine supplies a variable width font. I would love to be able to use
NoteTab Pro under Linux, but it is not very enjoyable unless this kink is
worked out.
thanks,
Peter Kirby

Cool.
The best is to send it to wine-patches (or wine-dev) to give it more exposure
and get more comments.
