a suggestion for improved Linux compatibility in wine

[Canine]

Hi

I've been using armybuilder 3.2d with wine 1.2.1, and it is almost 100% compatible. The only issue I've noticed is that certain buttons can't be pressed - you can click them to highlight the button but not to 'OK' the button. You can press space after clicking it and it works fine. So, not a huge deal. It only happens on notification windows, the kind that pops up when you hit the View License Info... menu option, and other notifications like that one.

Like I said, its the only problem I've noticed, after using it for pretty much everything it does aside from the data file editing tools (haven't tried that part). And its more of a minor annoyance than a problem since a keypress works where the mouse doesn't.

Anyway, if the code that produces that type of OK button were changed to work the same way as the Load button in the army selection menu (which works fine), then I think there would be total Linux compatibility via wine, satisfying most of the Linux users of AB, without having to port the whole application.

Just a small gripe I thought I'd bring up to see how it goes. Thanks either way

Thanks for the post. What exactly do you mean by "the army selection menu"? If there's one way that works and one that doesn't, we may be able to change stuff up so that the notification windows work properly too.

Thanks!

I think they mean the "Select a Game" pop-up which lists the installed files and has the large oval load button.

yeah that one.
And its only the oval button that works there, the other rectangular ones don't.

And come to think of it, all the circular and oval buttons seem to work, its apparently only the rectangular ones that don't. odd
