--- Comment #38 from Ed Sternin ed.sternin@brocku.ca 2008-07-25 17:05:18 --- OK, I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, this bug is NOT FIXED.
Under SUSE 10 or 11, under Zenwalk (Slackware-derived) from ibiblio.org(current), which both have wine 1.0, the bug persists. I tried to vary most of the winecfg options that seemed relevant (os version, graphics options).
The nature of the problem has definitely changed, as the face of the instruments is no longer black, and the graphics screens are re-drawn properly. However, roughly half of the text-based selector widgets are blank. For example, on the face of the scope (both small and enlarged version the same), the time base is blank. The vertical resolution on the two channels is blank. On the function generator, the NUMERICAL widget for the frequency is shown properly, while the UNITS widget (Hz/kHz/MHz... etc) is blank.
When clicked on the widget arrows, the program performs as expected, changing the values/settings for both the displayed and the blanked-out widget, but the usability is severely affected, as one never knows what the values are.
Very frustrating, as it seems so close. Could it be some missing fonts? font colours?
Please, REOPEN the bug.
In addition, the crashing on exit when using the window-close button has become much more severe, it goes into an infinite loop, while before it would give a handful of errors, but eventually crash out. Now, it generates an endless stream of Error pop-ups, and no amount of clicking OK ever exits wine, it needs to be explicitly killed using kill/killall.
