Summary: Wineconsole: Fallback from curses to window based backend Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: programs AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: wine@martin.st
Created an attachment (id=18362) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=18362) Patch for fixing the curses->user backend fallback
Wineconsole currently falls back to a curses based terminal if the user has specified the other one and it is unable to create windows. However, the converse fallback doesn't work in all cases. If the curses backend fails by being unable to load the curses library, wineconsole doesn't try the window based backend.
The attached patch solves this issue.
