Invisible text (was: question)

[Igor Selivanov]

I am running wine-20040309-0 on Suse 8.1, installed as an rpm.  I am trying to 
connect to a game server through a client application.  There are 3 parts to 
the interface: chat,play field, and announcements.  The chat pane scrolls 
with...well...chat :) including links.  Announcement pane 
has...well...announcements.  Also text and links.  Game pane is where you 
play - mostly graphics there.  I can see the text in the graphics pane, I can 
also see list of players at the table (displayed as text) but i can see NO 
announcement text, and no chat text (though I can send, and I can actually 
see letters as I type them).  I could see all the letters perfectly fine when 
I installed it.  It must be something inside the app that expect something 
else that isn't there.  Someone suggested tinkering with the  RichEdit dll, 
but I don't know where to start there.
