Summary: Internet explorer 6 address bar problems
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.41.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-kernel
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

On loading Internet Explorer 6 (installed via IEs4Linux) only the first
character of the address is displayed in the address bar (ie an "h" for http...
or an "a" for about:...), and addresses typed in here fail to load with a "The
page cannot be displayed" error. While typing into the address bar, although the
characters entered appear in the address bar correctly, the pop-up 'Search for
"..."' collapses pairs of characters into question marks. ie entering an h will
show 'Search for "h"' but following that with a t will show 'Search for "?"', a
second t gives 'Search for "?t" and a p gives 'Search for "??"' and so on.

The problem arose between 0.9.39 and 0.9.41, and doesn't present with IE 5 or 5.5

There are various reports of this at
http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2492&sid=4e652...
and it's bug 248999 on bugzila.redhat.com, where it is suggested that it still
worked in 0.9.40 and doesn't work in 0.9.42
