           Summary: Photoshop 7.0: alt modifier key doesn't work
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.17.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P4
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: ahlgren at mit.edu


Problem:
When using Photoshop 7.0, and you use the alt key to temporarily change the
functionality of a tool, then nothing happens (the brush doesn't do anything
when you use it).

Example (Major):
Equip the stamp (clone) tool. In order to use the clone stamp, you need to
alt-click on a portion of the image to 'imprint' it on the stamp. As you hold
down alt, your cursor will turn into a crosshairs, but when you click nothing
will happen (if you try to draw with the clone tool without holding alt, instead
of working as it should, an error dialog will appear saying the imprinting
didn't work).

The clone-stamp tool is an extremely useful, bread-and-butter tool whose utility
rivals that of the paintbrush and eraser, and is commonly used for both art and
photo restoration. It is disappointingly broken under Wine.

Example (Minor):
Equip the paintbrush tool. A common thing artists want to do while painting is
to use the dropper tool. By holding down the alt key while using the paintbrush,
you turn your cursor into a eye dropper, and are able to change the current
foreground color by clicking. However with Wine, despite the cursor turning into
an eye dropper, alt-clicks don't change the foreground color and produce no results.

Misc.:
Made priority +2 due to this being a critical feature in Photoshop, which is in
turn an important reason people use Wine.

However, it should be noted that ctrl-alt-clicks work fine.

My system:
KDE 3.5.2 on Ubuntu.
