No text in message writing area on WeChat with Wine and Ubuntu 16.04

After solving the non-rendering Chinese fonts with regedit WeChat is mostly working.

However, the message typing area does not display the text being typed.



Observed behaviour:




  • Typed text is being correctly rendered in the top left Search box;

  • Text is not being rendered in message typing area;

  • One is still able to send messages correctly by typing something and pressing Send (S) or pressing Enter. (You just can't see whatever you're typing.)


enter image description here



Terminal output whenever a character is typed in the writing area:



0009:fixme:richedit:fnTextSrv_TxDraw 0x2919368: STUB

0009:fixme:richedit:ME_GetTextEx GETTEXTEX flags 0x00000004 not supported


System details:




  • Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

  • wine-3.21 (Staging)

  • WINEARCH=win32

  • WeChat 2.6.6.25






16.04 wine fonts

                    How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

                    Image
                    3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...
