I have been using Wine to run QuickBooks fairly successfully for several months now. However, I frequently do CVS updates because I'm also trying to run Quicken, and there are several issues that I'm hoping will get fixed this way. (I have fixed a few of them myself, and am working on one now, but my time [like everyone else's, I'm sure] is limited...)
It's been a few weeks since I've run QuickBooks (8/19 was my last transaction date, so it'd be somewhere around there...). When I went to run it today (after several CVS updates on wine, including "moments ago"), after the company data file is opened, the main menu bar goes away. This was definately NOT a problem the last time I ran QuickBooks, so I surmise that it is the result of a change committed to CVS within the past two to three weeks that is causing this behaviour. It happens in both managed and unmanaged window mode.
Basically, the main menu bar should be at the top of the window, but the configurable taskbar / buttonbar is displayed "over" it. The accellerator keys for the menu bar are no longer recognised (the program beeps if you try to use <alt>f [for example] to get to the File menu).
I am more than willing to try to debug this. I'd really rather not go back to Windows to run QuickBooks, but I HAVE TO HAVE it (for running my company's finances!) But, before I spend days trying to find out what changed in the past few weeks, I was wondering (no, hoping, really) if anyone might recognize this problem as being a possible result of a recent CVS committed change.
Well, in the mean time, I guess I'll look through the CVS commits from the past few weeks (arghhh!)...
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks,
Carl
