I'm the programmer behind yWriter (novel writing software), which has tens of
thousands of users ... many of whom want to run it on Mac or Linux. (I have
another two dozen programs which aren't used quite as heavily as this one, but
the ones I've tested all show the same problem.)

Until now I've been telling people to run it on Mono, but winforms isn't up to
the job any more. (There's a showstopper bug which has been there since Mono
2.4 and apparently isn't going to be fixed.)

Even the windb entry says they tried to run it by installing Mono under wine,
instead of dotnet 20:

Over the years I've been very careful not to use API calls, custom libraries or
third party controls, or mssql, instead writing everything from scratch myself
to make my software as easy to run on wine/mono as possible. I'm happy to test
this thing into the ground if it'll fix the problem. Alternatively I can just
tell users to run winetricks comctl32
