Issues and problems specifically with using AG under Wine. ------------------------------------------------------------ (most serious) Something about the font handling, whether in AG or more likely in the IBM class library, does not get along with Wine. 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.
