Terminal output

When starting the TaxAct 2012 program (winetricks ie7 was used before
installing the program), there are many popup boxes. These boxes do not have a
title and there is nothing written in them. In the terminal, these lines are
repeated many times. See attachment.

I can confirm this for 1.4. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and x86_64 (with
WINEARCH=win32).

I'd also note that the blank popups are modal. And for me, they are so copious
as to render TaxACT unusable.

With "winetricks ie6" this bug does not occur.

First, I still see this with TaxACT 2013 and wine 1.6.1. Again, this occurs
with "winetricks ie7" but not with "winetricks ie6".

Second, I have found a workaround. After "winetricks ie7" run winecfg again,
click the Libraries tab, and remove the override for urlmon. Then the blank
modal popups no longer appear.

The suggested work-around from comment 4 did not work for me. The program
freezes (see bug 34357) and so therefore does not have the empty pop-up boxes,
but a frozen program doesn't do any good.

Still present - wine-1.7.32-107-g3006cea

Also, per comment 4 the work around DOES work.
