Please, go ahead. Based on my recent (yesterday and this morning) conversations with the noble people over at Wine, we are talking about the same problem. Mouse problems occur in all versions of VFP ever since the Wine version circa 6/1/2001.

Stay tuned, one of the Wine developers is going to see if he can nail this bug over the weekend. Apparently they've seen this bug in several applications before (Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Flash, others) and they are highly motivated to close this bug for VFP as VFP is the last app that they know of to exhibit the bug.

Hopefully I'll have great news come monday...

In the meantime, Wine has a voting mechanism for their bug tracking system, and we can elevate the bug by getting more people to vote for it.

Here is the page for this bug report:
http://bugs.winehq.com/long_list.cgi?buglist=434

You can follow links to set up a BugZilla account, at which point you can click on the bug report and vote for it. I'd encourage all interested parties to do this.

Regards,
Paul McNett
