Created an attachment (id=32972) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=32972) stdout/stderr from application run that crashed
This is a regression in a downloadable application. I'm sorry, but I cannot afford the hours of time it takes to run a regression test to pinpoint the commit that introduced the problem. (I am working on building a new computer that should be much faster, so maybe in a few months...)
This may be related to bug #23416, in which the help window contents pane was mostly if not entirely blank. In subsequent comments, some later versions than 1.2-rc4 brought back display of some text, but other problems remained. Comment #17 to bug #23416 indicated a need for "overhauling how urlmon does CreateURLMoniker or ..."
The symptoms are similar to bug #17227, introduced in 1.1.12 and fixed in 1.1.28.
The crash is very reproducible. For a simplified, repeatable test sequence, I installed PAF5 into a fresh prefix area. I used the PAF5AllLangs.exe installer. I selected English as the installation language. I selected to install the "International Unicode Font". I deselected viewing the 'getting started document'. Installation finished with no apparent problem.
When running the application, I chose to create a new file of name z9, z8, z7, or etc. I clicked on 'cancel' on the two dialogs that followed. I clicked on the yellow question mark in the menu bar to bring up the help viewer. In the left-hand pane of the help window, I clicked on the first four chapter titles in turn. When I clicked on the fourth one, a dialog appeared that said Wine had detected a problem and needed to close. I clicked the 'close' button.
