------- Additional Comments From mikegardiner@bigpond.com 2007-11-01 23:04 ------- The inability to place new elements bug can be fixed by commenting out a line in the dlls/user32/dialog.c file (in the 0.9.29 version it is line 894: if (hwnd == GetActiveWindow()) WINPOS_ActivateOtherWindow( hwnd );).
Basically, I think this problem is caused by the window that the object is being placed in losing focus when the dialog box for entering the data closes. This causes the window to "lose its grip" of the element being placed, and when focus returns to the window it no longer thinks it is placing an object. (The same thing can be simulated in Windows - if you are in the middle of placing an object, press Alt-Tab to switch to another application, then Alt-Tab again to switch back to Orcad - the placing of an object is no longer occurring).
For now, I just get around this by removing the above mentioned line and recompiling WINE. I don't really know enough about the sequencing of events in WINE after a dialog box closes to submit this as a valid patch or to produce a valid compliance test for it, however with this line removed I have not noticed any side-effects with Orcad or other applications that I use with WINE.
