Still present in win 1.1.26. Has wine dropped support for Steam? Flash and the
scrollbars have not worked for a very long time.

There's no "support" in wine. Use Codeweaver's CrossOver for that. There's only
what devs are able to work on.

I would, except that CrossOver has the same problem. In fact their app database
rates Steam as silver, and hasn't been updated since 4/17/2008.

I don't mind paying for things, I just expect the things I pay for to work. In
fact, I've donated over $100.00 to Wine over the last few years, but haven't
given anything since Steam stopped working.

My only reason for using wine is to play games under Linux, most of which I run
under Steam. It just seems odd that neither the Wine developers or Crossover
seem to think Steam, a major and popular gaming platform, is important enough
to fix.

In fact, I had to move back to Windows as my primary OS and will probably have
to purchase Windows 7 simply because wine/Crossover support for Steam and the
games I play keeps getting worse, and I can no longer compile the old versions
of wine that did work (somewhere around 0.9.56) on current Ubuntu distributions
(most recently Hardy, Intrepid, and Ubuntu, both 32 and 64 bit).

But I keep my dual boot system installed, and try various Ubuntu distributions
and wine/Nvidia driver combination's every once in awhile hopping things will
get better.

I would much prefer to use Ubuntu and contribute to open source than support
MS, but I love to play games and booting back and forth between operating
systems multiple times a day is impractical. But I'm pulling for
wine/Crossover, and will start contributing again when they at least begin
showing some interest in fixing these long term bugs.
