Summary: Photoshop 7.0: alt modifier key doesn't work Product: Wine Version: 0.9.17. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P4 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: ahlgren@mit.edu
Problem: When using Photoshop 7.0, and you use the alt key to temporarily change the functionality of a tool, then nothing happens (the brush doesn't do anything when you use it).
Example (Major): Equip the stamp (clone) tool. In order to use the clone stamp, you need to alt-click on a portion of the image to 'imprint' it on the stamp. As you hold down alt, your cursor will turn into a crosshairs, but when you click nothing will happen (if you try to draw with the clone tool without holding alt, instead of working as it should, an error dialog will appear saying the imprinting didn't work).
The clone-stamp tool is an extremely useful, bread-and-butter tool whose utility rivals that of the paintbrush and eraser, and is commonly used for both art and photo restoration. It is disappointingly broken under Wine.
Example (Minor): Equip the paintbrush tool. A common thing artists want to do while painting is to use the dropper tool. By holding down the alt key while using the paintbrush, you turn your cursor into a eye dropper, and are able to change the current foreground color by clicking. However with Wine, despite the cursor turning into an eye dropper, alt-clicks don't change the foreground color and produce no results.
Misc.: Made priority +2 due to this being a critical feature in Photoshop, which is in turn an important reason people use Wine.
However, it should be noted that ctrl-alt-clicks work fine.
My system: KDE 3.5.2 on Ubuntu.
