             Bug #: 30035
           Summary: metapad - use of special characters in replace mode
                    does not work
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.4-rc5
          Platform: x86
               URL: http://liquidninja.com/metapad/downloads/metapad36.zip
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org

    Classification: Unclassified


Metapad is a free and very efficient notepad replacement, one file executable.
The author states, that metapad has NO dependencies of win32 DLLs, so one
should expect metapad to behave identical in WINE and Windows platform.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. 

Steps to reproduce the error: 
 - download metapad.exe from URL given in header and unpack it (no install
required)
 - open metapad.exe 
 - choose Menu->Edit->Replace (or just press CTRL-H)
 - click on the second right button with down arrow, which enable user to enter
some special characters like \t for Tab or \n for Newline. 
 - On wine it is ALWAYS disabled, and you can not enable any of the special
characters. On WIN32 you can enable use of the special characters.  

You can think about this bug as completely unimportant, but in my company it is
widely used function - like add some new lines after closing tags in html. 

One note: on the terminal, wine complaints:

$ wine metapad.exe 
fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly
L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" (6.0.0.0)
fixme:richedit:ME_HandleMessage EM_SETMARGINS: stub
