Bug #: 30035 Summary: metapad - use of special characters in replace mode does not work Product: Wine Version: 1.4-rc5 Platform: x86 URL: http://liquidninja.com/metapad/downloads/metapad36.zip OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: washuu@eastnews.com.pl Classification: Unclassified
Metapad is a free and very efficient notepad replacement, one file executable. The author states, that metapad has NO dependencies of win32 DLLs, so one should expect metapad to behave identical in WINE and Windows platform. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
Steps to reproduce the error: - download metapad.exe from URL given in header and unpack it (no install required) - open metapad.exe - choose Menu->Edit->Replace (or just press CTRL-H) - click on the second right button with down arrow, which enable user to enter some special characters like \t for Tab or \n for Newline. - On wine it is ALWAYS disabled, and you can not enable any of the special characters. On WIN32 you can enable use of the special characters.
You can think about this bug as completely unimportant, but in my company it is widely used function - like add some new lines after closing tags in html.
One note: on the terminal, wine complaints:
$ wine metapad.exe fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" (6.0.0.0) fixme:richedit:ME_HandleMessage EM_SETMARGINS: stub
