Backtrace Slackware wine 1.7.42

Hello everyone,

in the German Ubuntuusers.de-Forum somebody asked for support on "Chessmaster
9000" and I gave it a try with 1.7.42 on my Slackware 14.1 laptop.

I can start up the application okay (bought it from gog.com) and browse the
library. Unfortunately the pieces are not shown on my system and when clicking
the board where the piece is supposed to be I got a crash. Backtrace ist
attached.

I am currently trying wine-staging 1.7.50 and pieces are shown now. I suppose
somebody wrote something very useful to be integrated.

I tried Chessmaster 10 version from bug 32542. And I couldnt see such failure.
I know the product is different but would think they use same codebase. Could
you retest this with pure wine?

This issue seems to be specific to Chessmaster 9000.

Backtrace, Wine 2.0 rc2

Attaching backtrace. 
When the game is launched the first time, the default board and pieces are not
rendered, so you end up with a black area. Only workaround at this point is to
go the pref menu and change to a different board.

I can't reproduce the crash using Chessmaster 9000 neither under wine 2.0-rc3
nor wine-staging 2.0-rc3. The only difference I observe is missing pieces
under wine, with wine-staging that bug isn't present.

Also, what board changes are required to make the pieces visible under plain
wine?

To reproduce, just move the mouse pointer over an area (square) where a piece
(invisible) is supposed to be, the mouse pointer turns into a little hand once
it hovers over a piece, just click there to trigger the crash, problem is
reproducible on different machines (laptop, desktop, Virtualbox VM).

To make the pieces visible, switch to another board from the Preferences menu:
go to Preferences --> Chess Set...Some sets won't render so you might have to
uncheck "Match Boards and Pieces", takes some trial and error, try:
-Rollup/Black and White Figurine
-Brass and Chrome/Staunton Grey & White etc.

Some combinations trigger a similar crash here.

The crash and rendering problems are only reproducible in pure wine, 
I tested with wine-staging 2.0-rc3 and it all worked.

Thanks for the instructions, but I still can't reproduce the crashes.

I guess if both problems are fixed in wine-staging then there is no point
in further investigation.

I see on your screenshot that you also have the problem with double caption
(a native one from a WM and a custom one created by Chessmaster). I can't
find a bugreport for this, but I have a fix for it. Once there is a bug
report it will be marked as staged with a reference to appropriate patch set.

And just for the reference: what WM are you using?

Agreed, maybe the crash is hardware specific (?) but it's a moot point. 
If wine-staging code that fixed this issue gets merged into plain wine then
this bug can be closed.

I'll submit a separate bug for this, please provide a link to the patch if you
get a chance.

Might be related to Bug 42083 where some chess sets were not rendered, and
which seems to have been fixed now in wine-staging.

Tested with wine-staging 2.0-rc3 and rc4, and can't reproduce the crash at all,
and all the chess sets and pieces (both 2d/3d) now render correctly.
