Bug#946699: wine: Lotus Notes 6.5 font drop down list corrupt after upgrade to buster
Hi Bernhard,
Thanks for the debug instructions.
I'll go to try them, maybe the next weekend.
Notes is an essential tool of my daily work, so extended trials block
me from productive offfice work for some hours, since I don't have a
separate testing environment.
I managed to finish builds of wine 1.8.7 ( --without-freetype) and
wine-4.21 on my box. Next step is to figure out how I could set up a
different sandbox style testing not only for the binaries, but also the
prefix skeletons and the fonts. So haven't done 'make install' yet.
One thing on my suspicion list may be broken version contingencies in
the wine prefixes and/or the font installation in use.
Anytime I run a prefix with a different wine version
I get some window mentioning sth. like "registry upgrade".
Would be glad to have a clue what's going on there.
I know the bug list is not the proper place for help questions, but a
hint where to find those issues explained would nevertheless help
to speed up the process of bug fixing.
Regarding trial installation sources:
20 years back in "good old" IBM times they were quite relaxed with
public availability of installation sources for trial purposes.
This seems to have changed, as I found in a search for a more recent
notes version. So I don't dare to make one publicly available.
It's a 125 MB exe file, but I think it were ok to send it personally to
sbdy who wants to take the effort to reproduce the bug.
