No caption on MessageBox

[fredwine]

This C program produces a simple MessageBox. I compiled and ran it on Windows. Using the latest version of Wine on the latest version of Q4OS, the message box is missing its caption:

#include<windows.h>
int main(){
MessageBoxA(0,"content","caption",0);
}

When I compile the code with Mingw, it works fine with Wine 8.0.2.

Code: Select all

i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -o test.exe test.c -mwindows

WINEDEBUG="+text" wine test.exe

Thank you for taking the time to respond.
It's strange, you know, because I made a full-scale Windows program with the same compiler (Tiny C), and it runs just fine on Wine.
MessageBox doesn't work, though.
Oh, well, I guess I'll just have to live with it, thanks.

Problem solved! I discovered, quite by accident, that if I open Wine regedit and increase the font size, the caption magically appears. If I reduce the font size again, the caption disappears.
An odd kind of problem, but at least I have a solution now, thanks.
