Hello wine-users,
I built and installed (with wineinstall) wine-20050725 [see system info
at end of mail].
While it works OK for most of the applications that I use (I still have
some crashes, I will investigate them), I have lots of graphical
glitches, some of which greatly reduce the usability of the applications :
Firefox :
----------
+ Installation problems, esp. with respect to icons and text. I am
attaching small screenshots for you to see the problems. During the
installation, the console returns :
fixme:win:SetWindowTextW setting text L"Extracting" of other process
window 0x10022 should not use SendMessage
err:static:STATIC_SetIcon huh? hicon!=0, but info=0???
+ Main page display problem. Black boxes in rendered page (which is
perfect on native Linux FF). Menubar scrambled. It clears up a little
(not perfect though) when my mouse passes over it. Console says :
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {4955dd33-b159-11d0-8fcf-00aa006bcc59}
not registered
fixme:ole:CoCreateInstance no classfactory created for CLSID
{4955dd33-b159-11d0-8fcf-00aa006bcc59}, hres is 0x80040154
err:clipboard:CLIPBOARD_CloseClipboard Failed to set clipboard.
7-Zip:
------
The combo box under the icons is almost not appearing at all, making it
impossible to navigate in directories (see small screenshot).
This is just to show the problems I am encountering. I tried searching
in the Bugzilla but the search (keyword firefox) returned no replies. I
have to say that the search is quite cumbersome. I use Bugzilla almost
daily (Mozilla project for instance), and searches are a lot easier
because there is a simple search box, instead of having everyone to use
the advanced search function.
I also have opened an account on the AppDB. Should I report these
problems to the apps maintainers instead (it seems so)?
There is so much documentation that I don't know what to do : you seem
to welcome bug reports but I am not sure whether apps bugs are helpful
to you. Are they?
Could you give me some pointers please?
Thank you. I am willing to participate and help but don't know what to
report exactly as I am not familiar with Wine internals.
Vincent
