@All of you: thanks for the support, and for using QuArK! Don't hesitate to continue using it in the future for all your mapping and modeling needs!

#Revision 1.25  2011/10/06 20:13:37  danielpharos
#Removed a bunch of 'fixes for linux': Wine's fault (and a bit ours); let them fix it.
#

!!!! not nice

I copied the old 6.6 beta 4 version of that file into the 6.6.5 installation and it was solved.
I hope this hack does not cause any Problems XD
Well Of course maybe it's wines fault but at least to mention it  somewhere more prominent would have been nice. (Like in the readme) and mention it on wine appsdb.

But I don't really want to rant I know devs spent a lot of time, so:
Big thanks for this release!!

The workaround was missing in many places, and was quite bad, so I removed it. Anyway, under certain circumstances it does work (for example, I can run QuArK under Wine fine). If I remember correctly, it's exactly the same issue as running QuArK on a Chinese Windows: it messes up the quotes. Are you running Wine on a non-English system, maybe?

By the way, here's the entry in the Wine Bugzilla:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2159

(Note:Their description of the bug is incomplete, because they don't know about the localization issue Delphi has, triggering this problem.)
