Safe Harbor Games : Backgammon - Almost works with Wine

[Cubeology]

Safe Harbor Games (http://www.safeharborgames.net/) is a popular site in the backgammon community. I am one of several people trying to get the game server to work on Linux with Wine. I am using a Asus EEE 1000HE with the latest version of Easy Peasy (Ubuntu) and Wine. The game software requires browser to launch and I was successful in getting this to work by loading windows version of Firefox. In fact, with exception of a few critical issues the program works with Wine. I can play a match and most of the controls work except for the following. 1. Cannot post chat message in either lobby or game because after typing message the software requires hitting [enter] and under Wine hitting [enter] has no effect. 2. Should be able to double-click on player name in lobby to send a instant message but double-click does not work. 3. This last is less critical, but fonts do not display correctly. So the result is I can play on the game site but cannot communicate with anyone. I would greatly appreciate if someone could help solve these issues. Thanks

Wine version? Anything in the terminal?
