--- Comment #10 from Timo-Heikki Mäkelä imaxfun@gmail.com 2008-03-12 16:51:01 --- Works perfectly for me on wine 0.9.57 and Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. I used 1.0.42.1 version of mapedit, however, as 1.0.38.3 wasn't available at http://www.geopainting.com anymore.
Are you sure you had been using the same version of mapedit and Mandriva also earlier? There have been some fixes to the program due to maps crashing. It might have been a regression in mapedit or Mandriva instead.
