Vitaliy may not have the best bedside manner,
There are no words to describe the enormity of this understatement...
Amen to that! I got so put off by being berated by Vitaliy, that I gave up on this whole show for the most part. I would post information that I thought might be helpful in the sense of resolving a bug and get chastened for not using the bug system in the fashion he felt was best. So don't feel like the only one who is frustrated with the attitude of the wine developers.
This whole party line of "wine is alpha software, so you have to put up with whatever shabby nonsense comes your way" is a monumental cop-out. How many years has wine been "mainstream" ? My last round with this particular bug was that there was a patch available that fixed it and I wanted to see it make its way into the main distribution, but all I heard about was that my bug was a duplicate of some other bug (maybe this one). If that is the case then merge the two bugs and focus on fixing the problem.
No, I'm not bitter, but I did find my energies better spent by writing "gtopo" which is a non-wine/windows application that replaces TOPO! than trying to get wine bugs fixed.
