[Bug 23259] New: Comboboxes require more clicks to open (MS Office 2003)

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23259

Summary: Comboboxes require more clicks to open (MS Office
                    2003)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.2-rc4
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

When using programs from Microsoft Office 2003 student edition suite,
comboboxes in toolbars like "font", "font" size" and other require 3+ clicks on
the drop-down area to open.

Another approach is clicking the text first and then the arrow (getting to 2
clicks)

The bug is present in 1.1.43 too (the version I have currently installed in
production area)
attention: pulseaudio and ole32-cx patches were applied to that 1.1.43 and
pulseaudio patch to 1.2.-rc4

What's ole32-cx and pulse patches? Only vanilla Wine from official git repo
supported here. Try with clean Wine and clean .wine first.

ole32-cx is nothing anymore  (1.1.43 required that to make equation editor
work)
pulseaudio patch adds pulseaudio sound output option (so nothing even remotely
related to comboboxes)

Disabling sound (→and all effects of that patch) makes no difference

Not a problem here in 1.2-rc5, and never has been.

Retest in plain Wine with a clean wineprefix.

> Retest in plain Wine with a clean wineprefix.

That is quite hard with microsoft Office, I don't have any "installations"
anymore.

If it works, then it's probably my fault.
Is "wineboot -u" supposed to update all system files?
The cause is probably in overly-strict (and probably dumb) c:\windows write
policy - nobody is supposed to write in there except for win.ini, probably
wrong, right?

I'll run a test with fully write-able wineprefix..

But I don't see the reason why should MS Office or wine overwrite files in
c:\windows every time it starts up

You broke your Wine prefix.
