Improper Focus handling
by Cogman 28 Oct '03

28 Oct '03

I have noticed this bug in wine for some time, (winex has corrected it btw). It seems that new windows, child windows, and message boxes are incorrectly handled in wine, when created they are often put at the bottem of the stack of wine windows and not given focus. This is bad expecialy in Install shield programs that bring the messages and windows up one after the other, but you cant see the others or move them because the first is covering them. Also Keyboard focus does not seem to be working properly all the time (sometimes a window gets keyboardfocus and sometimes it doesnt) One thing I would like to point out is the fact that if you click on a window in windows it gets both keyboard and mouse focus. A few examples of where the focus issue becomes a problem are in Cstike and Pharaoh. In Cstrike (or any HL game for that matter) if you loose focus on the main window (alt-tab or something else happens) you loose keyboardfocus, but not always mouse focus, So you endup stuck in a game with the keyboard focused on some other window (usually on a konsole so killall is the only way to get out other then changing virtual windows) In pharaoh the problem is when a new window pops up. The keyboard does not send messages to it, and you can click on it and everything but not be able to type anything (save game window). Now if you run games in desktop mode it will sometimes work. but I dont think that you should have to run games in desktop just to get proper focus handling. I really would love to see this bug smushed :)

wine msvcrt on Library initialization
by Boaz Harrosh 28 Oct '03

28 Oct '03

I have only managed to compile and link MFC with the msvcrt.dll the std way would not work. Now the MFC has lots of: <somefoo.cpp> void CleanFoo() { } int init = atexit( CleanFoo ) ; </somefoo.cpp> The call to atexit will in-turn call _lock if we look at _lock.c : <lock.c> ... /* If the lock doesn't exist yet, create it */ if( lock_table[ locknum ].bInit == FALSE ) { /* Lock while we're changing the lock table */ _lock( _LOCKTAB_LOCK ); .... </lock.c> Since we are calling on library initialization, (global variable) it might happen that the call is made before the initialization of the _LOCKTAB_LOCK (before a call to lock.c::msvcrt_init_mt_locks) and therefor I get an endless recursion. Now this is why we have the -wrap option with the delayed load of winelib apps. [Q}Should I submit a patch to protect that endless recursion in msvcrt. or should it be noted that all DLL s used by the winelib-application should be also linked to the wrapper (to have a chance to initialize) and submit a patch to winemaker? P.S Some similar problem occurs with native msvcrt.dll. That one is hard to pinpoint exactly. In any way making the wrapper link to msvcrt will solve the problem in both cases. Free Life Boaz

Proposal to resolve the issue of the broken wine-users gateway
by Jeremy White 28 Oct '03

28 Oct '03

Hi Folks, Say, Just chatting on IRC today, and ShadowHawk pointed out that a host of other sites (Franks corner, etc) have sprung up almost entirely because there are no user based forums on winehq.org. This is, in part, due to the fact that the gateway between the newsgroup and wine-users is busted. And it is that way, because the gateway we were using is a dead project, and Jer hasn't been able to wrestle it back into working (and doesn't really want to). Further, I think it may be time to recognize that cool looking forums are what users expect; that mailing lists and newsgroups are really becoming the 'old' way of doing things. Further, there is a PHP based forum system that Jer would be happy to put up on winehq.org. This would neatly side step the whole problem and perhaps provide a nice upgrade for winehq.org. What do others think? Cheers, Jeremy

winelib documentation
by "Martin Tröster" 28 Oct '03

28 Oct '03

Hi, I want to propose a possible improvement for the wine (and especially winelib) documentation on the WineHQ website: I would like each chapter and section to be dated with the latest release date (like a CVS header etc.), so that the reader knows when the information has been composed. Furthermore, especially in case of development, it would be interesting for which version of Wine these changes are true. Another thing would be to change the FAQ into a Wiki-thing - although I usually do not like this concept too much, I think it is far better than having to refer to outdated documentation... I hope you guys see this as an improvement for the future - although it still shows that the current state of documentation needs some updates (especially in the case of winelib development, see my questions on .spec files that is soon to come :-)) Cheers, Martin ______________________________________________________________________________ Horoskop, Comics, VIPs, Wetter, Sport und Lotto im WEB.DE Screensaver1.2 Kostenlos downloaden: http://screensaver.web.de/?mc=021110

Longhorn info
by Mike Hearn 28 Oct '03

Of course, as we don't actually implement the "new" XP APIs yet, this is all rather academic. Still, why not take a look at what we'll be reimplementing in 2010 ;) SDK: http://longhorn.msdn.microsoft.com/ Articles/Info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/longhorn thanks -mike

Segmentation fault
by flyker 28 Oct '03

Under Windows my program exe file is about 6Mb. Under Linux and Wine it is about 50Mb (.so file). It is normal ? And Wine makes Segmentation fault on initialising global variables of my program. #1 0x40bb0116 in __static_initialization_and_destruction_0 (__initialize_p=1, __priority=65535) at main.cpp:681 #2 0x40bb0176 in _GLOBAL__I_oldfCentury () at main.cpp:3809 #3 0x40bcc151 in __do_global_ctors_aux () from /home/mc/PRJ/main.exe.so #4 0x40872dc6 in _init () from /home/mc/PRJ/main.exe.so #5 0x4000c4b1 in _dl_init_internal () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 #6 0x40154f42 in dl_open_worker () from /lib/libc.so.6 #7 0x4000c266 in _dl_catch_error_internal () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 #8 0x401549af in _dl_open () from /lib/libc.so.6 #9 0x4017bf6b in dlopen_doit () from /lib/libdl.so.2 #10 0x4000c266 in _dl_catch_error_internal () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 #11 0x4017c316 in _dlerror_run () from /lib/libdl.so.2 #12 0x4017bf14 in dlopen@@GLIBC_2.1 () from /lib/libdl.so.2 #13 0x4002ea32 in wine_dlopen (filename=0xbfffc5f8 "/home/mc/PRJ/main.exe.so", flag=2, error=0xbfffd628 "\200.", errorsize=1024) at loader.c:454 #14 0x4049e920 in __wine_kernel_init () at process.c:841 #15 0x401d8947 in __wine_process_init (argc=0, argv=0xbfffda84) at loader.c:1954 #16 0x4002e9fd in wine_init (argc=2, argv=0xbfffded4, error=0xbfffda84 "", error_size=1024) at loader.c:431 #17 0x3c001771 in main (argc=2, argv=0xbfffded4) at main.c:33 #18 0x40057917 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6 Any ideas ?

New compiler warnings
by Gerald Pfeifer 28 Oct '03

Re: French keyboard layout with Euro symbol

Hi Jerome, It seems your patch includes a currency sign '¤' instead of the Euro : Altgr-E and Altgr-$ look the same (0xA4.) Please use the unified format when sending patches. ===== Sylvain Petreolle (spetreolle_at_users_dot_sourceforge_dot_net) ICQ #170597259 Say NO to software patents Dites NON aux brevets logiciels "What if tomorrow the War could be over ?"
