Bug #: 33772 Summary: UTF-8 Conversion Error Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: cupp@computer.org Classification: Unclassified
Attempts to launch TextPad results in a pop up error reporting: UTF-8 Conversion Error.
Result is that TextPad does not launch normally since it cannot open the stored configuration file. Work around -- open the folder and remove the configuration file. Then TextPad launches.
However, because of this error, the program cannot be registered (you are running a "trial copy") and you must delete the configuration file each time the application is launched.
History: I have been running TextPad (now on version 6.22) under WINE for a long time. Recently, through yum update WINE advanced to WINE 1.5.29 (I think the previous version was WINE 1.5.25). Both before and after the update, TextPad worked. However, with WINE 1.5.29 another application I use no longer functioned.
I was able to roll back to WINE 1.5.2 and the other application works. Now, however, TextPad has this UTF-8 Conversion error. (I can't find any other applications that exhibit this problem.) Possibly a newer version of WINE would work but I don't know.

--- Comment #1 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com --- This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for over a year. Is this still an issue in current (1.7.37 or newer) wine? If so, please attach the terminal output in 1.7.37 (see http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log).
