--- Comment #13 from Forester pbronline-wine@yahoo.co.uk 2009-02-15 11:30:00 --- Hi
Bug 15887 has been closed on the grounds that it is a duplicate of this bug. Does that mean I am supposed to post further remarks under this bug ?
Here's my work around: install Wine 1.0.0, install application, upgrade Wine to 1.1.15 or whatever. Run application.
Does this work for anyone else ? At least you don't have to patch the Wine source and so you can at least ask for support. Oh, and it works for other regressions too.
Bug 15887 reported a regression. This bug does not. In comment #8 (bug 15887), Dan (Hi Dan) asked if his patch in comment #5 (this bug) helped. I replied no. In comment #9 a helpful analysis of a problem in a different application was provided. I replied that it did not apply. Yet still bug 15887 was closed on the grounds that it is a duplicate of this bug.
I have tried the patch suggested in commnent #5 with my application. Again.
I am very happy for those folks for who the patch makes a difference but I repeat: it does make any difference for the application for which bug 15887 reported a problem.
I was told to report bugs, describe symptoms but not to attempt analysis. I was told, if I suspected regression, to do a full regression. These I did.
Neither the chap who provided the analysis nor the fellow whose patch may have introduced the regression are in copy for this bug. How does one move things forward ?
Could someone attempt the same regression as I did on their application ? Perhaps that might help someone decide whether we have two issues with the same symptoms or one issue with an analysis and a patch that don't address the root cause.
