Images in MyHeritage Family Tree Builder

[Stephen Davies]

I am running WINE 1.9.11 (Staging) under Fedora 22.

I have been running the MyHeritage Family Tree Builder V7 product on this box 
for several years without issue but recently (last month perhaps), FTB is no 
longer able to display JPEG photographs.
The JPEG files exist in the relevant directory but they all display as blank 
images.

FTB has not changed but there have been numerous updates to F22 and to WINE 
suggesting that this may be the cause.

Can anybody throw any light on what may have happened?

Cheers and thanks,
Stephen

The best course of action would be to test am older wine version that
worked, and ensure it still does. If so, run a regression test:

I tried dnf downgrade wine on my F22 box but that looks for 1.7.42 (and fails 
due to missing mingw32-wine-gecko = 2.36) which is older (I assume) than the 
1.7.44 that I tested successfully on another box (F20).

If your app doesn't use gecko, you could try forcing it if dnf allows.

Otherwise, compile 1.7.44 manually, since you'll have to compile to run the
regression test anyway ;)

Feel free to file a bug. If the program is free to download, please
include a set of steps so a developer can reproduce the problem.
