[Bug 11822] New: Visual Foxpro 7: Character typing in any edit box freeze application

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11822

Summary: Visual Foxpro 7: Character typing in any edit box freeze
                    application
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.55.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Any character typing inside Microsoft Visual Foxpro 7 command window and edit
box (while editing methods) leads to immediate freeze. This makes application
development using Foxpro currently impossible.

Can you attach the console output?

Severity is not major.

Normal console output does not add new lines between before and after freeze. I
need sometime to google how to set debug on or whatever and direct output to a
file. Typing WINEDEBUG=ON and running wine again does not show debugging
information.

I take back my words. There are indeed changes to console output even without
debugging mode, namely there is something abut oleacc.dll fails with error
1812. I attach 2 console outputs as comparisons, one where <a

close</a>, the other one where <a

then freeze</a>.

Really sorry. Seems BOTH console outputs, as attached, has that oleacc.dll
error. I'll get back to this matter after I have some free time.

I figured the condition for replicating the bug. The freezing only happens if I
run Foxpro 7 over VNC. But it doesn't happen when I still use wine 0.9.54. I
have edited the title to reflect the condition.

Checking what I suspected, I tried to type some letters while winemine windows
active. Winemine freezed.

I suspect all wine's applications over VNC will freeze since 0.9.55, 0.9.56 (as
of this writing). This is a regression from 0.9.54. I also change the title
again to reflect this finding.

And can someone kindly enough provide me with the command line instruction for
debian etch on how to provide the proper console output of debug mode? I have
tried winedbg, then keep entering "cont" fail because of an error. But that
same error is successfully ignored when running with plain wine instead of
winedbg. I also tried in the console typing WINEDEBUG=warn+all but there is no
effect. Is the  log written somewhere?

Since severity major is defined as "Major loss of functionality for a wide
range of applications" and this bug impacts almost all applications, albeit
over VNC, I change severity to major.

Yes, I see it with Wine's built in regedit and notepad. It worked fine in Wine
0.9.40... regression test under way.

hmm.. 
I use xtightvnc server and viewer, with open ssh set up between server and a
port in client I used. All standard package of debian etch with backport
activated. Does the setting such as above may change the result?

Is your different machine using 0.9.57?

yes, running the latest version of Wine from git. I am using realvnc with this
machine. I think my other machine has tightvnc. Let me try tightvnc here and
see what happens.

This reminds me to a linux "bug" where a barcode reader can't be detected in
PS/2 port unless a keyboard is attached serially..

By any chance, is the keyboard you use in one of the client is PS/2 based and
the other is USB based? How about the server's keyboard?

The broken one is ps/2, the working one is a vmware instance.

Is the working one a vmware instance that is hosted in the same machine that is
broken? Are you aware whether vmware emulate keyboard as a PS/2 or USB, or it
depends on config file?

I'll test the USB keyboard when I can access it, which is over the weekend.

It seems I don't have any USB keyboard. I'm calling others to help testing this
bug using USB keyboard. I hope USB keyboard can be used as temporary
workaround.

I'm also having this problem, with the Pokerstars application.
Typing anything freezes wine.

I have a hard time believing that it has anything to do with PS/2
vs USB keyboards.  Surely the X server should abstract that away.
Besides all other (non-wine) applications work just fine.

0.9.58 still has this bug.

Yeah, probably PS/2 vs. USB keyboard won't matter but I'll try when I can get
my hand to a USB keyboard anyway. I just wish there is some easy workaround.
This bug is a show stopper for me.. *sigh*. I guess I'll just stuck my self
with older wine version.

As an workaround. you can easily get the old behavior if you call
X11DRV_InitKeyboard( thread_display() ); instead of X11DRV_InitKeyboard(
gdi_display ); in x11drv_main.c.

In my previous setting that doesn't work, running wine directly (via ssh -Y
tunneling) works.

The setting that doesn't work is Debian Etch with:

/etc/inetd.conf containing 
vnc-1024x768x16 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/bin/Xtightvnc Xtightvnc -inetd
-query localhost -fp tcp/localhost:7100 -once -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16

/etc/services containing 
vnc-1024x768x16 5950/tcp # VNC :50

and logging in to GDM remotely and run wine, doesn't work.
