Bug #: 34423 Summary: Star Trek Online won't display options menu Product: Wine Version: 1.7.1 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: alexhenrie24@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified
After opening Star Trek Online, if you click the Options menu, a Wine Internet Explorer window opens at the address "app:3" and you never get the Options menu.
Installing ie8 from winetricks gets around the problem.
Star Trek Online creates an IEframe showing http://launcher.startrekonline.com/launcher_login. This page contains the following link which is supposed to bring up the Options menu in the launcher:
<a target="_blank" href="app:3">Options</a>
Interestingly, if you fool the Star Trek launcher into loading a different page, one that has the same link but without the target="_blank", it works! To do so:
1. Add "127.0.0.1 launcher.startrekonline.com" to /etc/hosts
2. Set up Apache. Create the file /var/www/launcher_login with the content "<a href="app:3">Options</a>".
3. Launch Star Trek Online.
Now when you click the Options link, you'll get the Options menu just as expected. This seems to indicate some problem in the way Wine handles target="_blank" for custom URI schemes. On Windows, a new Internet Explorer window doesn't appear at all.
