Hallo,

I have installed NS 4.78 german under my wine with wine set to windows 3.1.
Now it is possible to post into the usenet, but the <return>-button has
no function.
I cannot set a carriage return in the posting editor/window.

How is it pssible to activate the return-key?

Thanks in advance
Uwe

Which version of Wine? We had a bug with the return key a few versions ago.
Try 1.0-rc1 if you can.

See in the subject.

0.9.59
It was the version which is delivered with the normal Ubuntu 8.04 reposority.

We had a bug with the return key a few versions ago.
Try 1.0-rc1 if you can.

The version which I have used from Ubuntu is buggy, I now have taken the
winehq-reposority and installed with it the 1.0-rc1.
With this version the return key has just its function with Netscape.

Thanks, this is the solution.
