[Bug 14414] New: WordPerfect 11: Application will start normally only once

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14414

Summary: WordPerfect 11:  Application will start normally only
                    once
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Start application after clean install.  Shut application down.  Start it again.
 Splash screen appears (eventually), splash screen disappears (eventually). 
Then nothing.  Main window does not apppear.  No 'entry' on the task bar.  No
amount of window maximisation/minimisation, desktop switching etc. will make
the main window appear.  There are tasks but they are not eating CPU (ps -f -u
$USER confirms this).

Starting the application a second time (in a different console window) gives:

err:ole:CoUninitialize Mismatched CoUninitialize

and exits.  The first invocation puts up the main window (which is almost a
'shaded').  Roll this window down and the application is usable. Ther is
nothing untoward in the console output of the first invocation.

Note:  First invocation of application after install produces a pop-up window
claiming the serial number (aka licence key) cannot be found.  Only after
entering the appropriate number (key) does the main window appear.  However, I
have had 'nothing happens' behaviour after a file recovery pop-up after
application crash.

Installer 'requires' winetricks wsh56 but application is run without any dll
overrides.  winetricks corefonts are installed.

Behaviour is repeatable.  Host is Kubuntu 8.04 x86, Linux is 2.6.19.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.13 or newer) wine?

Yes this is still very much an issue with Wine 1.1.13.

I can confirm this issue also affects WordPerfect 10 and 13.

I have a work around.  For WordPerfect version nn, delete the registry entry

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Corel\WordPerfect\nn\MDI Frame Position

This must be done each time the application is (to be) started.

I suppose the next step would be a simple test case that writes and reads back
the offending registry entry.  Which debug channel should I be tracing registry
read and writes with ?

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.26 or newer) wine?

No response in over 6 months, marking abandoned. If this is still an issue in
current (1.2-rc1 or newer) wine, and you can provide the needed information,
feel free to reopen.
