[Wine] Problem on installing MS VM on wine

[Austin English]

The regression was related to the address bar not displaying more than one
letter of the address, which made it difficult to navigate to new sites.
That was fixed in wine 0.9.43. I just tried a clean install of ies4linux in
wine 0.9.43 and do not see any issues in the toolbars. Please be more
specific about this error. Also, please try this again after removing and
reinstalling ies4linux to make sure it's not an issue in your setup. If it's
still an issue, you could report it to bugzilla, but remember, wine does not
officially support it. Be sure to point out it is a regression, and if
possible, find the patch that broke it so your bug will be take more
seriously.
