Consequently, +everything appears only in some crappy default font and nothing you do +with the Set Fonts dialog has any effect. + +This makes marked tokens indistiguishable from unmarked tokens, which +means you can't tell where you are in the Grammar Trace and File Trace +and thus makes those windows nearly impossible to use. This in turn +makes AG almost useless in Wine. + +Possible workaround: could reenable the old code for putting marked +tokens in <>. But this should be either user-switchable or based on +having detected wine. Blah. + +Another possible workaround: change the text color for marked tokens. + +------------------------------------------------------------ +When you click on an open AG window name from the Windows menu of +the AG control panel, the window does not come to the foreground. If +completely hidden, it will remain so. + +------------------------------------------------------------ +Various weird things happen with control of the window focus, +window icons, window titles, raising and lowering windows, and other +things that interact with the window manager in X. + +------------------------------------------------------------ +In Wine it doesn't seem to notice when the syntax file has been +changed underneath it. I'm reasonably sure that in Windows it does and +that this feature wasn't limited to the DOS version. (I think it +normally checks when it receives the window focus, which is +problematic as per the previous issue.) + +------------------------------------------------------------ +The icon for the Analyze Grammar button often fails to display or +refresh if covered and uncovered. (The other buttons are sometimes +affected too, but mostly only the Analyze Grammar button gets messed +up without provocation.) I'm sure this is a Wine issue, but it would +be nice if it didn't break. + +------------------------------------------------------------ +AG does not work at all in Wine on NetBSD. Neither do various other +things; the problems is/are in Wine, not AG. See +http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=32800 +for some further information. +
