[Bug 11513] New: English/Portuguese/Spanish dictionary

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11513

Summary: English/Portuguese/Spanish dictionary
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.54.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Hi!
I frequently use the Multilingual dictionary called "Dic Michaelis" (AppDB:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3200&sA...),
which is the only electronic english to portuguese dictionary I could possibly
find, for any OS (except some very poor online translators).

I have it installed on Ubuntu 6.06 with wine 0.9.53~winehq0~ubuntu~6.06-1, and
it works perfectly; probably the program was installed with some previous wine
version, however still runs smoothly with wine 0.9.53 .

The problem is, I'm actually using latest Ubuntu (7.10) with the most recent
wine (version 0.9.54~winehq0~ubuntu~7.10-1) but the following problems occur:

* There are now actually two "programs" in the taskbar; the first one contains
                 the main body of the dictionary; the second, when clicked,
displays the search word field;

* Whenever I switch from english/portuguese to portuguese/english and
vice-versa,  the search box disappears and I need to select it again in the
taskbar;

* When the application is minimized, or another application such as firefox is
chosen, the main body minimizes, but the search box remains over all the other
programs I have open i.e. browser etc.; So the only solution I have at the time
is closing the dictionary application every time after searching for the
translation; this can be quite annoying.

* Everytime I switch between applications I have to click again in the second
"program" in the taskbar so I can enter the search word. Because of the nature
of the activity (browsing foreign language, using translator) this happens
quite frequently.

SUMMARY: this issue is not a priority, however it did not happened in prior
versions of wine (except when minimizing the search box remained in top of
everything else) and I assume it happens with other applications also.

I'm attaching a photo so you can see what I'm talking about :)

THANK YOU AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR WORK!

The application worked under Ubuntu 6.06 and even wine 0.9.53, however, for the
same wine 0.9.53 under Ubuntu 7.10 it doesn't work, I think because the
application was originally installed in Ubuntu 6.06 (which is installed in
another partition) before a wine upgrade to 0.9.53, that is, the application
was installed under a previous wine, which I suppose was released around
October 2006. Therefore, I tried to install wine 0.9.23 from source (since
there is no package for Ubuntu 7.10, I suppose using package from Ubuntu 6.06
would break the system?) but when try to run wine get "segmentation fault".
Tryed also from source wine 0.9.22 but same problem.

So I returned to wine 0.9.23 and, according to the readme file, must be
compiled using gcc 2.7.2.3. So I installed gcc-2.7.2.3-19 available from the
Ubuntu package repository; I made the necessary changes so the compiler used is
actually gcc-2.7.2.3. Nevertheless, I can't go further, when execute 'make' I
get the erros some erros, please see the attached file: erros while doing
'make' - wine 0.9.23.

Why are you compiling wine-0.9.23? You said the regression is from wine-0.9.53
Yes mostlikely you can't compile such an old Wine version and there is nothing
we can do about it.

Please stick to the original problem. If you have some problems with installing
this application on new Wine versions in your new distro version - open new
bug.

As I said, on wine 0.9.53, under Ubuntu 7.10 kernel 2.6.22-14-generic THE
PROBLEM IS PRESENT. Under Ubuntu 6.06 and wine 0.9.53 the problem was not
present, however the application "Dic Michaelis" was installed on a very
previous wine version. As I'm new to linux I can only imagine that the reason
for the same wine 0.9.53 version works for Ubuntu 6.06 but not for Ubuntu 7.10
is that the application "Dic Michaelis" was installed under a previous wine
version.

I'll try to test with an old but not so old wine version. I apologize if I
didn't made myself clear.

Hey guys,

I went to Ubuntu 6.06, uninstalled wine 0.9.53 completely and reinstalled.
Without doing any changes to winecfg (just looked without changing, windows
version was set to Windows 2000) I installed Dic Michaelis; for my surprise,
the application was still running smoothly... why that's a problem? because in
Ubuntu 7.10, the same wine 0.9.53 version with the same configuration (windows
2000 etc) doesn't work! I tryed changing to window$ XP and Window$ 98 but the
problem still continues.

I suppose the long hard work of regression testing has no use because the same
version of wine has different behaviors in different (kernels?). Besides, it
would not be possible determine what patch (if any) caused the regression,
because I can't really know if the application ever worked fine in Ubuntu 7.10!
Please give me directions. Tks.
