about tab

Hi All,

When I when to check my revision in /usr/local/bin/winecfg and clicked on the
"About" tab, two things happened.  1) I lost the lower row of tabs and 2) the
"about" was blank.  It eventually painted after 5 minutes.  But it painted the
wrong tab ("Applications" instead of "About").  And no more "About" tab to try
again.  I have attached a screen shot.

This started with rc2.  But I was always able to see the "About" tab.  The
lower row would disappear.  As of rc4, I can not get "About" to show.

CentOS 5.5, i386
Xfce 4.4.2

If it started under rc2, did it work in rc1/before? If so, please run a
regression test:

I may not have time to do a regression test for a couple of weeks.  Before I
start with that, can you reproduce the problem on your on your computer?

I also reproduce this under gnome.  I thing the version is 2.16.0, but it is
hard to tell.

Hmmmmmm.  I do a full recompile every new version.  Do you do a "git"?

Also, although this bug, which has repaint issues too
   http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18318
has always been with us well before rc2, maybe they are related.

Do you suspect an interaction with my video driver?

$ rpm -qa *nvidia*
dkms-nvidia-x11-drv-185.18.14-1.nodist.rf

Do you have a set of tests for detecting video driver problems?

Many thanks,

It's possible. I'm running the 256.25 drivers (beta).

make test in dlls/d3d{8,9}/tests, though these don't necessarily pass
everywhere. comctl32/user32 are more likely.

Okay.  How do I use the files in these directories?  Do I have to compile up
something?

/home/CDs/Linux/Wine/wine-1.2-rc6/programs/winetest/d3d9_test.exe

Usage: Z:\home\CDs\Linux\Wine\wine-1.2-rc6\programs\winetest\d3d9_test.exe
test_name

Valid test names:
    buffer
    d3d9ex
    device
    query
    shader
    stateblock
    surface
    texture
    vertexdeclaration
    visual
    volume

But none of them work.  "Tests skipped: could not create D3D9"

No symptom change.

But, you know, I think 18318 just got fixed.  Thank you!

Okay.  Now this is a revolting development.  I create a new (unix) user and
fired "winecfg" from the new user's shell.  The "About" tab works fine.

It is not clear whether this is a problem with some kind of configuration or a
corrupted profile.

I have renamed all my ~/.wine/.reg files and my drive_c/widnows/Win.ini and
system.ini without a symptom change.  So, I am stumped.  Any idea what to check
next?

Many thanks,

If you do:
$ WINEPREFIX=~/.winetmp winecfg

does it work there?

Yes it does.

And, I came up with a workaround for my actual profile that may be a hint as to
solving the problem: in WineCfg.exe, under the "Libraries" tab, I changed the
order on "Comctl32"

old (don't work): native, builtin
new (works): builtin, native

Does this tell us anything about the problem?  And, can you switch your
"Conctl32" to my old one and reproduce the problem?

Many thanks,
-T

What do you mean?  What interaction are you speaking of and what does it have
to do with Comctl32?  I am confused.

You were using native (Microsoft's) comctl32, which apparently does not play
nice with Wine's winecfg. We can't fix their comctl32, and since it works with
Wine's, the bug is invalid.

Hi Austin,

Thank you for the explanation.

Winecfg use to work under M$'s conctl32 and then stopped at rc2.  My concern
was that to get winecfg to work correctly (switching to Wine's conctl32), that
programs that require M$'s conctl32 to operate correctly would be broken.  I
obviously had configured my conctl32 for M$s' version for some reason ages ago
that I have forgotten.  Since winecfg "used" to operate under both, it would be
better to keep it that way.

If you can find no current reason why anyone would ever need to run M$'s
conctl32, then my concerns are unfounded.  If my concerns are founded, please
reopen this bug and fix winecfg.

Many thanks,
-T

Please perform the regression test and post its result here.

Once it's clear which commit broke it we could reconsider.

Hi Austin,

It could be a couple of weeks before I can do a regression test.

In the mean time, can you temporarily switch your comctl32 to M$'s and repoduce
the problem?

-T

p.s. doing a search on comctl32 reported back bazillions of hits.

For me, with native comctl32, if I click on About, the entire tab disappears.

Though this over xming, not 'real' X.

Doesn't happen for me with native comctl32 and real X.

Wincfg 1.1.33

Okay, not the regression test you wanted, but maybe helpful.  My shop computer
has 1.1.33 installed on it and has no problem showing the about tab with
comctl32 set to native.  I have attached a screen shot.
