Script Working in Generic Linux Programs, Not in Wine/Word97

[jakfish]

One of my favorite writing tools is gaiksaurus, and I'm using it with Word 97 in both Manjaro and Linux Mint. I have a very modest script that copies the word, sends it to gaiksaurus, and opens a resized gaiksaurus with the word's synonyms:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
sleep 1
xte 'key Control_L' 'keydown c' 'keyup Control_L' 'keyup c'
if [ ! $1 ];then
#MYWORD=`xsel -o`
MYWORD=`xclip -o`
#MYWORD=`clipit -c`
#xclip -selection clipboard -o
else
MYWORD=$@
fi
#gaiksaurus $MYWORD &
gaiksaurus $MYWORD &
sleep 1
xdotool windowsize $(xdotool search --name "AiksaurusGTK") 1000 600

I'm running Wine 9.0 and in previous Wine versions, this script worked with Word 97.

At present, xclip, clipit, etc fail to copy the word to gaiksaurus, resulting in gaiksaurus merely opening, with a properly resized window--so most of the commands are working.

This script works in its entirety in linux native LibreWriter.

Any reason why it's not working in Wine, any handle to jiggle?

Much obliged for any insight.

seems like a regression worth a bug report. Have you tried Wine-10.0 maybe? (or maybe even the newest devel version 10.7?)

Could be, though I can't find other complaints. I'm willing to believe it's something on my end, yet the script works outside of Wine.
