--- Comment #4 from Ted Hansen tedhansen@sasktel.net --- I have done some tests. It appears that Turbocad will actually respond to the keyboard input but response is extremely slow, sometimes the key must be held for 4 seconds or more before the program responds.
It also appears that this IS a bug which is dependent on the wine version. The last wine version which works correctly is 1.4.
I performed tests using Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04 and wine versions 1.4, 1.61, 1.62, 1.7.18 and 1.7.50. All tests were done with a clean, new Ubuntu install, first using wine installed from the distribution repositories then with wine packages installed from the ppa according to the instructions on winehq.
The ~.wine folder was deleted between each version tested so each test was with a clean, new wine install.
On ubuntu 12.04: - wine 1.4 was OK. - with 1.6.1, 1.6.2 and 1.7.18 keyboard response was so slow as to make the program unusable 1.7.18 is the highest ubuntu package available for 12.04
On ubuntu 14.04: - attempting to install wine 1.4 actually installs 1.6.2. Turbocad runs but keyboard response is too slow for it too be usable. - with wine 1.7.50 the program installs but will not run. It freezes at the second opening screen ("start a new file, open and existing file, etc."). cpu use goes to 100% and, if left for any length of time, the entire system freezes and must be shut down by cutting the power.
