Problem with text fields in wine 1.5.29 on RedHat 5.6

[dimaver]

Hello all.

I have installed wine 1.5.29 on RedHat Enterprise Linux Server 5.6.
In addition, I have an application which requires .NET 4.0 and WPF.
So I installed .NET 4.0 using winetricks.

The application works pretty fine. All the graphics works without any problem.
But to my surprise, when I try to write something in its text fields, everything stuck and I have to kill the application.
I don't see that wine reports any error when this happens.
In addition, even in notepad.exe happens the same thing. The moment I try to write there, notepad is stuck and doesn't respond any more.

On the other hand, when I write some text in Linux text editor or terminal, and copy/paste it to my application or to notepad - it works and doesn't cause them to stuck.

Did anybody encounter similar problem?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Dima.

That's a know RedHat bug, cf. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30697

julliard, thank you for such a quick reply.

From your link I understood that this bug is fixed in later versions of RedHat, and in my case (version 5.6) I need to upgrade the Xlib.

I'm not an expert in Linux. Could you, please, guide me how to perform this upgrade?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Dima.

If your distro has packaged the newer version, just use your package manager to upgrade. If not, you will have to build it yourself. As to how to do either, ask for help on your distro's support forum. It's not a Wine question.
