Bug ID: 53603 Summary: Strange result with notepad.exe Product: Wine Version: 7.16 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: mikes@kuentos.guam.net Distribution: ---
Just upgraded two machines to 7.16 and see issue with both. Using root user and running notepad it comes up fine. Using regular user and running notepad with DPI set to 144, it comes up with what appears to be a terminal window with a smaller white window inside that should be the notepad, but doesn't respond. Have to kill process. Running again, has same issue, but both terminal window and white window are even smaller? Running winecfg and setting DPI to 96. Then running notepad seems to have it come up correctly. Terminal window is larger and notepad fills it up. Can also resize window no issue. Can then use winecfg and set DPI back to 144, and it runs fine at that point, but found that after awhile running ago goes back to problem, and have to reset DPI again. Don't see any obvious error messages that are different between when it works and doesn't. Other programs I run have no issues, so don't know if thi is only a notepad issue.
Did notice that the notepad.exe in the C:\windows directory is the system32 version (or atleast same size) the syswow notepad.exe is different size.
Don't use notepad.exe much, but normally after an update of wine. I run wine notepad with root user to have it do update, and then do same for my regular user.
Thanks.
