--- Comment #6 from Martin Kochanski mjk@cardbox.com 2007-11-12 05:36:37 --- Thank you all for your kindness in commenting!
Juan, I'm only a poor innocent helpless Windows programmer and I've never done a diff in my life. I really wouldn't know where to begin with any of this, whereas I'm surrounded by experts who can do it in their sleep. Let's each do what we're good at. I've created the correction, though admittedly in the form of a piece of continuous prose rather than a proper patch. That was easy for me, though it still took a few hours. For someone else, it'll be easy to make a patch out of it.
Vitaliy, I don't mind about the glory: whoever submits the patch deserves the glory, as long as Wine is patched!
Dan, I know it'll take longer if I don't do it myself but it's a choice between me taking a day to learn how to do it all (and probably getting it wrong several times on the way) and someone else taking ten minutes to do the same thing.
All of you, I've posted a web page at http://www.cardbox.com/wine.htm that lets you download and install the Cardbox software. You can then reproduce the error in six mouse clicks (two of them are double-clicks).
I don't want to sound lazy or parasitic and I know this project works on voluntary contributions of time and effort. I hope you'll agree that identifying the correction for such a fundamental bug is a voluntary contribution in itself and not the act of a lazy parasite! I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope that someone turns this all into a patch in the not too distant future.
