           Summary: Dragon Naturally Speaking 7: Regression
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.9
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P3
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: mdirk at sympatico.ca


Even though I had bought only "Dragon Naturally Speaking 7: Essentials", this
version used to work fine under Wine 1.1.7 .  Thus, I had assumed to expect the
behavior to have been improved enough for the Essentials Edition to work from
now on.

But after upgrading Wine to version 1.1.9, a Regression took place. Still
installed properly, and having a user profile for me, DNS 7 no longer works.

The behavior is that after launching, the message appears "Initializing
Dictation". But this message stays, which should get replaced by something
else. For a fraction of a second, the toolbar menus become fully colored, which
would indicate that the program is ready for use. But next, the toolbar becomes
grayed again, and does not respond to input of any kind. The icon indicating
whether the microphone is switched on or not, stays unfilled. And trying to
position the mouse cursor over the toolbar, causes the Linux cursor to
disappear, for which reason the menus can also not be clicked on. Keyboard
shortcuts don't work. The system tray icon also stays unreachable by the mouse,
only displaying a trivial balloon but no menu. The toolbar fails to reposition
itself as it did before, onto any available window awaiting a dictation.

And after about a minute, the application dies.

Trying to re-establish an OSS sound driver audio profile succeeds with the
message that "The sound quality is unacceptable." But then trying to establish
an ALSA sound driver audio profile causes a crash before the new profile gets
saved. In this mode, the main toolbar has already gone into its unresponsive
mode, but control over the app's events is taken care of successfully by more
normal-looking windows.
