--- Comment #7 from Al Turner al_turner@comcast.net 2009-10-22 22:02:49 --- My apologies for the status error.
Tim confirmed he had the same problem with TroopMaster, and advised the workaround he used. I applied the workaround and it resolved my issue as well.
I do not know if the problem actually resides/resided in wine. The change to get around the problem (agonizingly slow response time) was to change the background, eliminating the animation feature. Not a big deal and the program functionality remains intact.
You are correct -- there was no change to wine to address the issue. Not sure what change would be needed or possible.
Given the observation from two users that the problem exists (thought somewhat overstated in the bug description), is it still UNCONFIRMED?
