| 1 Issues and problems specifically with using AG under Wine. | |
| 2 | |
| 3 ------------------------------------------------------------ | |
| 4 (most serious) | |
| 5 | |
| 6 Something about the font handling, whether in AG or more likely in the | |
| 7 IBM class library, does not get along with Wine. Consequently, | |
| 8 everything appears only in some crappy default font and nothing you do | |
| 9 with the Set Fonts dialog has any effect. | |
| 10 | |
| 11 This makes marked tokens indistiguishable from unmarked tokens, which | |
| 12 means you can't tell where you are in the Grammar Trace and File Trace | |
| 13 and thus makes those windows nearly impossible to use. This in turn | |
| 14 makes AG almost useless in Wine. | |
| 15 | |
| 16 Possible workaround: could reenable the old code for putting marked | |
| 17 tokens in <>. But this should be either user-switchable or based on | |
| 18 having detected wine. Blah. | |
| 19 | |
| 20 Another possible workaround: change the text color for marked tokens. | |
| 21 | |
| 22 ------------------------------------------------------------ | |
| 23 When you click on an open AG window name from the Windows menu of | |
| 24 the AG control panel, the window does not come to the foreground. If | |
| 25 completely hidden, it will remain so. | |
| 26 | |
| 27 ------------------------------------------------------------ | |
| 28 Various weird things happen with control of the window focus, | |
| 29 window icons, window titles, raising and lowering windows, and other | |
| 30 things that interact with the window manager in X. | |
| 31 | |
| 32 ------------------------------------------------------------ | |
| 33 In Wine it doesn't seem to notice when the syntax file has been | |
| 34 changed underneath it. I'm reasonably sure that in Windows it does and | |
| 35 that this feature wasn't limited to the DOS version. (I think it | |
| 36 normally checks when it receives the window focus, which is | |
| 37 problematic as per the previous issue.) | |
| 38 | |
| 39 ------------------------------------------------------------ | |
| 40 The icon for the Analyze Grammar button often fails to display or | |
| 41 refresh if covered and uncovered. (The other buttons are sometimes | |
| 42 affected too, but mostly only the Analyze Grammar button gets messed | |
| 43 up without provocation.) I'm sure this is a Wine issue, but it would | |
| 44 be nice if it didn't break. | |
| 45 | |
| 46 ------------------------------------------------------------ | |
| 47 AG does not work at all in Wine on NetBSD. Neither do various other | |
| 48 things; the problems is/are in Wine, not AG. See | |
| 49 http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=32800 | |
| 50 for some further information. | |
