Problem with Lotus Notes client

[Reinhold Schoeb]

I was running the Lotus Notes client 5.0 since about one
year without any problems.

But since some weeks I got two strange problems :

First, when I switch to another folder than the default inbox,
Notes completely hangs and wine consumes 90 % CPU time. The
only way is to kill wine and restart.

Second, while writing a new mail in Notes, typed characters
are not echoed until a backspace or NL.

I am using wine 0.0.20020228 under Debian, Lotus Notes 5.0.

Does anyone know how to fix that.

Which version of Notes 5.0? Last time I checked IBM was up to 5.0.9a.

I'll be installing Notes 5.0.9.a on a Mandrake 8.2 system in a couple of weeks.
If I see anything I'll let you know.

You should upgrade to 5.0.x something, then. Lots of bug fixes in the minor
revisions. You might solve your problems.

I've just moved to 20020411 from the Dec 2001 release and I've had to patch
both of these releases to sort out the disappearing text problem.

For 20020411, the patch looks like this (for dlls/user/painting.c)
