Bug ID: 55435
           Summary: GUI applications no longer show text output on
                    STDOUT/STDERR
           Product: Wine
           Version: 8.12
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ntdll
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
                CC: [e-mail]
   Regression SHA1: dcf0bf1f383f8429136cb761f5170a04503a297b
      Distribution: ---

GUI applications sometimes print informational and error text messages to the
terminal they were launched from. This stopped working in Wine 8.12. I first
noticed it with the game Star Trek Online and to rule out it was the game I
also tested the Windows version of VLC Media Player and it too stopped printing
text to the terminal. A bisect identifies commit
dcf0bf1f383f8429136cb761f5170a04503a297b.

I don't know if this was an intentional change and if I have missed some
setting or parameter needed to get that terminal output back and I apologize if
that's the case.

The change improved Windows compatibility, some GUI applications don't expect
to be attached to console. How does it work for VLC on Windows? I'd expect that
it needs to attach to a console or allocate it explicitly (and that should work
on Wine as well).

(In reply to Jacek Caban from comment #1)
> How does it work for VLC on Windows?

I installed Windows 10 in a virtual machine and tested there and you are indeed
correct. VLC does not output anything in Windows to the terminal which it is
started from.

This is unfortunate but I yield to the compatibility argument. It was a
convenient way to catch errors and resolve problems but I just have to find
another way or revert that commit locally as long as that doesn't interfere
with other things.

My bug is clearly invalid and an admin may close it as such.

Kind regards
Morgan
