Summary: win16: open file dialog fails to load anything Product: Wine Version: 0.9.27. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-comctl32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: xKiv@post.cz
(note: I didn't find a better place to post this bug) Bug found while using: blades of exile (from http://www.spiderwebsoftware.com/) (note 2: you probably won't be able to reproduce this bug easily, versions of wine since 0.9.20 have a different bug that cause the window contents to be corrupted, exhibits (big, screenshots): correct display: http://xKiv.matfyz.cz/wine-bugre/0.9.7-correct.png now: http://xKiv.matfyz.cz/wine-bugre/0.9.20-verybad.png ).
I tested the following versions of wine (if I demangle my notes correctly): 0.9.1 - 0.9.2: I failed to build these 0.9.2 - 0.9.8: OK 0.9.9: not tested/can't even run the program 0.9.10 - 0.9.14: OK 0.9.15 - 0.9.19: not tested/... 0.9.20 - 0.9.24: bug present 0.9.25: not tested/... 0.9.26 - 0.9.27: bug present
Build environment: gcc 4.1.1 linux 2.6.16-mm1 glibc 2.3.6
Once upon a time, in one ancient version of wine (sorry, don't remember which anymore, it really was too many years ago), I tracked a bug that had similar effects (namely, the win16 open dialog let me choose anything, but wouldn't let me open it - win32 is OK) and found that after I chose a file, the choice got overwritten by the default value. That means: the application (say, blades of exile) used an Open file dialog with a default of BLADES.SAV. I chose A.SAV (and clicked OK or Open or Load ... the label does not matter). Then BLADES.SAV was assigned to the choice string. And the application got that instead of my chosen file.
