Summary: ies4linux 100% CPU usage at an https website Product: Wine Version: 0.9.53. Platform: PC URL: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+bug/2058 95 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P3 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: bdkoepke@gmail.com
Versions of wine >= 0.9.53 do not work with ies4linux. Https websites are available; however, after initializing the page, wineserver and IEXPLORE.EXE jump to 100% CPU usage. This requires killing IEXPLORE and wineserver, (kill -9 `pidof wineserver`, kill -9 `pidof IEXPLORE.EXE`) to get the CPU usage back. Closing internet explorer does not work and it cannot be opened again if it is closed after visiting an https website.
This has been reported already at launchpad.net; however, the users there assumed that it was a "ubuntu" bug not a bug with the actual wine application. I can confirm that this fails when built from source as well.
Here is the link to the ubuntu bug.

I'm sorry if this is a duplicate.
