[Bug 23726] New: Microsoft visual Basic 6.0: Crashes when adding certain characters to a programming statement

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23726

Summary: Microsoft visual Basic 6.0: Crashes when adding
                    certain characters to a programming statement
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.2-rc6
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

While putting together a basic program, I came across an error when typing in
the following character "(" in the statement "label1.caption = Int(". After I
begin to type the "Int" followed by a "(" the program gives me an error and
closes. I'm not sure if this is because the command isn't available in the
library or wine is just not setup for using this program.

I'm not sure how to answer that question. Where do I go to find the terminal
output?

This bug is related to bug #11336. VB and VBA share the same editor, when one
of them gets fixed the other will too.

Visual Basic 6 IDE crashes because autocomplete feature fails. The IDE crashes
when autocomplete window popups when someone is writing text.

I cannot confirm that, did you test in a clean prefix?

No, with 1.5.24 I can't install Visual Studio 6, (bug 33037).

Visual Studio was installed on wine 1.4. In this environment Visual Basic
crashed just before autocomplete windows popups. Then I installed wine 1.5.24
from git and can't install Visual Studio, so I copied the functional .wine
folder created with wine 1.4 to a new .wine folder in order to test wine
1.5.24, then the bug was fixec, I can write text and the autocomplete window
popups and the environment didn't crash.
> From comments on bug 33037, I know that I can Install Visual Studio using

windows 98 as target OS. How I can do this from a terminal window?. With this
procedure, I will install Visual Studio using wine 1.5.24 and then I'll test
again on a fresh copy of .wine folder.

Yes, it crashed.

If I type "msgbox(" or "msgbox ", Visual Basic 6 crashes. But if I copy and
paste 'msgbox("Hello")' it doesn't crash. So the problem is with the
intellisense help tooltip.

Hello folks,

is the bug still present?

Please retest with recent Wine version, preferably Wine 1.7.20/21

The last commenter "german_ant_82" made contradicting statements here:

I'll experiment with this one. The bug 23726 is fixed. The problem was the
Visual Basic autocomplete feature. On wine 1.4 it fails an crash Visual Basic,
on wine 1.5.24 it works. But there are some bugs that I will report. Bug 24914
persists.

Still in wine 1.7.22, the easiest way to test is:

1) Create a clean wineprefix, install vb6run with winetricks;
2) Copy everything from the Visual Studio 6 CD folder OS/SYSTEM to
windows/system32;
3) Run VB98/VB6.EXE from the CD;
4) Create a empty project and click twice in the empty form;
5) Type "msgbox("

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for over a
year. Is this still an issue in current (1.7.51 or newer) wine?

In Wine 3.13, I was able to create and execute a MsgBox statement without the
program crashing. However, a small IntelliSense popup appeared without any
content, and attempting to delete the "(" in "MsgBox(" without completing and
executing the statement first causes the program to freeze.

I did a quick test for this:

0009:fixme:ole:OLEFontImpl_IPersistStreamInit_InitNew (0x275b614), stub!

and turns out this interface is not supported on anything newer and including
XP. We should test older versions somehow, including 9x, and then remove it if
it never worked.

Wine 5.14 still has this bug.

Typing:
msgbox(
produces an empty tooltip, pressing backspace at that point hangs it with 100%
CPU usage, and these 2 lines get printed repeatedly, in what seems like an
infinite loop:

0024:fixme:richedit:ITextRange_fnGetPoint (01B2DC38)->(2 0031F844 0031F848):
stub
0024:fixme:richedit:textrange_moveend unit 5 is not supported

Native riched20 fixes the problem. Setting component.

You can work around the problem for now with:
winetricks -q riched20
