Summary: WXTide32 fails to display popup from main app window Product: Wine Version: 0.9.55. Platform: PC URL: http://wxtide32.com/ OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: comctl32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: n5470@pinefields.com
WXTide32 is an app (based on xtide, effectively an enhanced port of xtide to Windows, released with GPL - http://wxtide32.com/ ) that displays tide levels for specific locations in either a conventional window and/or a system tray icon. Clicking on the tide information in the main window should give a popup showing time and tide level for the location picked on a graph of level vs. TOD (time of day). In the AppDB, this app (V2.0?) is reported as creating a "grey block" when left-clicking on the tide graph. This report was confirmed with WXTide32 V4.7. In debugging another app [Coastal Explorer - see Bug 11548], builtin comctl32.dll was replaced with native comctl32. V4.7 still does not display data in the popup. However, two different changes in behavior have appeared: 1) the popup now goes away when the left-click ends, as expected, and 2) the popup may either contain a grey field or the upper left corner of the screen background image (which, conveniently, is sufficiently distinctive to be easily identified) even though the popup is *not* in that location; the background segment is being blitted(?) to the popup. In summary, using native comctl32 alters the problem (popup is no longer permanent) but does not fix it (data to be shown in popup is still missing).
A similar popup is supposed to appear when the cursor passes over the system tray icon for WXTide32 and that happens as expected. The problem, then, is only in a popup from the main window and not from the system tray.
WXTide32 is invoked with: wine /usr/local/windows/src/wxtide32/wxtide32.exe
I plan to re-install the app in the ~/.wine structure to see if this restores the missing popup contents.
