Bug ID: 53603
           Summary: Strange result with notepad.exe
           Product: Wine
           Version: 7.16
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org
          Reporter: mikes@kuentos.guam.net
      Distribution: ---
Just upgraded two machines to 7.16 and see issue with both.
Using root user and running notepad it comes up fine.
Using regular user and running notepad with DPI set to 144, it comes up with
what appears to be a terminal window with a smaller white window inside that
should be the notepad, but doesn't respond. Have to kill process. Running
again, has same issue, but both terminal window and white window are even
smaller?
Running winecfg and setting DPI to 96. Then running notepad seems to have it
come up correctly. Terminal window is larger and notepad fills it up. Can also
resize window no issue.
Can then use winecfg and set DPI back to 144, and it runs fine at that point,
but found that after awhile running ago goes back to problem, and have to reset
DPI again. Don't see any obvious error messages that are different between when
it works and doesn't. Other programs I run have no issues, so don't know if thi
is only a notepad issue.
Did notice that the notepad.exe in the C:\windows directory is the system32
version (or atleast same size) the syswow notepad.exe is different size.
Don't use notepad.exe much, but normally after an update of wine.
I run wine notepad with root user to have it do update, and then do same for my
regular user.
Thanks.
