Hello folks,
--- quote --- That wasn't my report, I just found this bug and thought it should be closed. --- quote ---
I suggest to leave those bugs alone unless you have the technical expertise to understand what they are about.
The bug is of course still valid and can be reproduced with any recent Wine version, including Wine-Staging.
$ wine --version wine-1.9.1-27-g0f67df6
Regards
Apparently KB2936068 fixes this problem, I guess I never made the connection between KB2936068 being needed for the software and this bug. Maybe it was actually a bug in IE8 itself all along.
