Listbox Question - Danish accounting program SummaSummarum

joo · Post by **joo** » Wed Aug 10, 2011 10:14 am

Dear Wine board. This is my first Post.
This wine bug has been bothering me for two years now so now i think it is time to try and have it fixed.
The first step is to figure out how to phrase my bug with the correct terms.
As I don't know the names of the widgets since I haven't developed windows-application for some 10 years, I hope that someone will look at my screencast which i recorded in flv-format with byzanz screencast.
It should only take around 10 seconds of watching for You to see the bug.

The problem is that my application, Summasummarum, which is a danish double entry bookkeeping application, a very popular one, automatically clicks on entries on mouseover in, among other places, the chart of accounts.

Can anyone try and help me describe this problem, - or maybe someone knows the problem and can point me in the right direction of some fix.
Perhaps if there is no fix, some bounty-hunter might want to take a look at it for some price.

Here is the video illustratiang automatically clicking-behaviour when no mouse clicking is done, - but only mouseover:

Thanks in advance.
Best regards

Hi,

seems it worked well with (a very) old wine version, see
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=6187

Did you test with different window managers like KDE, Gnome, XFCE? Are you using multiple displays, extra input devices, etc? Just to make sure, it's not a configuration issue.

You could try older wine versions, the simplest way would be to move/backup .wine folder, install older wine package, .wine folder will be created again with first wine start, install software again. You maybe could find out, in which wine version things broke.

Then you probably should file a bug and provide a link to a free download version of that software.

Dear lahmbi5678.
Thank You so much for Your reply !
I have tried:
Gnome, KDE, openbox, ion3, evilwm and some others i don't remember. This bug sticks.
However it is a minor glitch in the application, so the applicaion should still have near platin rating - i use it every day.

Would You suggest that I provide link to a free version in a bug report and just submit this video?

Best regards

By the way, sorry not for answering all Your questions.

I have tried many different setups - multi screen, single screen, anything

What version of Wine is this? If it's not the latest development release, upgrade and retest a fresh install in a clean wineprefix before filing any bugs.

Did this ever work flawlessly for you? You just said it'd been bothering you for two years. I understood that it had been working at some point in the past, but of course you also could have meant it never worked for you for two years.

If it worked in the past, there are archives with older wine packages (depending on your Linux distribution), which you could try, e.g.
