Summary: Steam client does not display Flash Product: Wine Version: 1.1.27 Platform: PC URL: http://store.steampowered.com/ OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: winehq.org@eternaldusk.com
This is a bug that's been around for a while. If I recall correctly, I once tried to do some regression bisects, but due to other changes in Wine I was unable to compile a version old enough to get to a working build.
Here's the bug:
Back in v1.0.1, Wine displayed the flash content of the Steam client properly (this was taken using the Ubuntu packages):

However, this has been broken for a long time (here's Wine 1.1.26, it's the same as 1.1.27):

Those two shots were taken on the same machine with the same prefix, just by changing wine versions. Creating a clean prefix does not help, and I've demonstrated the problem (and seen it work in 1.0.1) on other machines.
