--- Comment #14 from Andrew Eikum aeikum@codeweavers.com 2011-01-12 09:49:07 CST --- And some detailed steps to reproduce.
In Excel, make sure Macros are enabled (Tools->Options->Security tab->Macros...). Go to Tools -> Macro -> Record New Macro Press OK Type some junk into any cell and press Enter Click the Stop button Use Tools -> Macro -> Macros... to Run the macro you just made
You can save the file before the last step so you don't have to re-do the steps every time it crashes.
Will there be any fix available soon or any alternative?
There might be a fix in the next release, if someone gets around to it. Otherwise, you can revert the bad commit from a Git repository with the latest version of Wine checked out: git revert c0f120db5d6b72917dd9bb1e4630f2b6ff6960a6 Then rebuild Wine.
Note that this might cause other problems, as the behavior fixed in that commit is legitimate.
