Still present in win 1.1.26. Has wine dropped support for Steam? Flash and the scrollbars have not worked for a very long time.
There's no "support" in wine. Use Codeweaver's CrossOver for that. There's only what devs are able to work on.

I would, except that CrossOver has the same problem. In fact their app database rates Steam as silver, and hasn't been updated since 4/17/2008.
I don't mind paying for things, I just expect the things I pay for to work. In fact, I've donated over $100.00 to Wine over the last few years, but haven't given anything since Steam stopped working.
My only reason for using wine is to play games under Linux, most of which I run under Steam. It just seems odd that neither the Wine developers or Crossover seem to think Steam, a major and popular gaming platform, is important enough to fix.
In fact, I had to move back to Windows as my primary OS and will probably have to purchase Windows 7 simply because wine/Crossover support for Steam and the games I play keeps getting worse, and I can no longer compile the old versions of wine that did work (somewhere around 0.9.56) on current Ubuntu distributions (most recently Hardy, Intrepid, and Ubuntu, both 32 and 64 bit).
But I keep my dual boot system installed, and try various Ubuntu distributions and wine/Nvidia driver combination's every once in awhile hopping things will get better.
I would much prefer to use Ubuntu and contribute to open source than support MS, but I love to play games and booting back and forth between operating systems multiple times a day is impractical. But I'm pulling for wine/Crossover, and will start contributing again when they at least begin showing some interest in fixing these long term bugs.
