[Bug 25085] New: Invalid Fixme messages in fonts.c

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25085

Summary: Invalid Fixme messages in fonts.c
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.6
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdi32
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

The gdi32.dll module font.c, function GetCharacterPlacementW contain the
following two FIXME error messages which do not appear to be valid:

if(dwFlags&(~GCP_REORDER))  FIXME("flags 0x%08x ignored\n", dwFlags);
if(lpResults->lpClass)      FIXME("classes not implemented\n");

Application programs that produce a lot of screen output (such as telnet, ssh,
etc) that use this this function is slowed down quite a bit since these two
error messages are generated for every line of text written.

FIXMEs are not bugs, use WINEDEBUG=-all if you want to ignore them.

Its a bug, plain and simple.  You can try to hide your head in a hole and
pretend the problem does not exist, or try to make up your own worlds rules,
but the facts are the facts.  Its a bug!

Yes, but if you take a nanosecond of time, you will find that report was closed
and abandoned.  So there is no active problem report for this to be a duplicate
of.  And FIXMEs are a bug if they report false and misleading information which
confuses users, requires unnecessary cpu cycles and makes applications run
slower then they should.

There is no reason a bug can't be marked as a duplicate of an already closed
one.

Once you read all the comments of the bug 15435 you will probably understand
why it has been closed.

As I said before, hiding your head in a hole does not solve anything, but if
that is common Wine policy, so be it.
