Summary: Houaiss Portuguese Dictionary (blocked window) Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: mrx@riseup.net
Hello friends. I appologize for disturbing you, I hope I'm not doing anything wrong by posting this thing here, but, I decided to try. I've been using Debian for about a year, and I've got a bit of a problem with an electronic dictionary which is very dear to me, since I work with texts... It's the Houaiss Portuguese Dictionary, made for Windows. All the other dictionaries I use run perfectly well in Wine, but this one has got some kind of strange bug. Sometimes, when I open it, it appears as a minimized window at the panel below. If you then click on it to maximize it, instead of a full screen window what you get is only a very narrow strip of window. If you click on its right-hand upper corner in order do maximize it, nothing happens. All you can do is close it. Then, if you run the programm again, the same thing will happen, no matter how many times you try. If you uninstall the software and re-install it completely, usually the same thing happens! A friend of mine wrote a script for me which has helped, since with it I usually can make it work again, but it's always a little bit annoying, since it doesn't work immediately, and you have to run the scrip a thousand times before the moody dictionary decides to work. The scrip I've been using to fix the problem runs as follows:
#!/bin/sh cp -a ~/.wine_working/* ~/.wine echo "old good wine restored..."
I'm no expert al all, as you can see, so if you could help me (and probably other portuguese speakers who use this dictionary) to definetely solve this problem I'd really appreciate! I thank you very much for your attention and help!
