lotus notes regression

[Paul R Streitman]

Patch 14725, applied 2004/12/07 11:31:53, breaks lotus notes.  The symptom
is a hang with the CPU at 100%, and it happens immediately if you try to
click on a notes 'bookmark', or shortly after you try to do much of
anything else if you try to avoid the 'bookmarks'.

Sorry that it took me so long to report this, when I decided that it wasn't
just a temporary instability I eventually had to iteratively compile (many)
CVS snapshots to narrow down when the problem was introduced because I
found it impossible to untangle the various patches that went in around
that time frame.  I also ran afoul of the jack problems near the end.

I do not know how to narrow the problem down further.  I tried running
winedbg (at CVS level a couple of days ago), and that seems to be broken
too -- it wanted to run things from the wine build tree?  There are no
unusual console messages or anything when the problem happens.

Thanks,
                                                                Paul

This is the following patch:

Log message:
    Moved update region handling to the server.

Patch: http://cvs.winehq.org/patch.py?id=14725

ie, it's a WM rewrite regression. I will investigate when I get a chance.

Paul, is this Notes 6.5.1 or an earlier version?

thanks -mike

Mike,

Sorry about that, I edited away the notes level at some point!  This is
with notes 6.5.3.  I can easily reproduce it if you would like me to try
anything.

Thanks,

Hi,
was there ever a fix offered so that notes will run on wine post 20041207?

Hi all,

I've got several people here on LinuxTag mentioning Lotus Notes
breakage, caused by update region handling rewrite,
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2660
.

There have been several mail threads on WD about this:

20041229, Mike Hearn, "Re: lotus notes regression"
20050311, Kevin DeKorte, "wine 20050310"

Further info:
20041201 works fine, all newer Wine versions don't.
Seems to affect at least Notes 6.5.3.

Bug #2660 makes me think that a fix still hasn't been committed.

I would say this should be fixed RSN if possible, since the rather frequently
used Lotus Notes has been broken for more than half a year now.

OTOH: With such a huge breakage, I'd have expected IBM to fix this
themselves, but I'm sure you know the deal... :-(
