--- Comment #4 from Susan Cragin susancragin@earthlink.net 2010-06-18 12:19:58 --- This bug has morphed into something else and behaves differently. The first time DictationBox is opened it behaves flawlessly. The second time I open it, the box opens immediately, and then I talk, but text does not appear in it for about thirty seconds.
The fix is now simple. Close out the program and re-open it. But be sure that all the processes wine runs close, too. (Quite often they don't.)
wine reboot works, too.
