[Wine] Problem with PowerBuilder 6-based app

I was debugging my problematic application with some local PowerBuilder-guru, 
and we found that the problem only affects some text/list/combo boxes, the 
ones that are meant to input "only" numbers (controls with some kind 
of "numeric only" attribute...)

So we make a program just to test that, without database connection; and we 
got the error again. 

So, we think that the problem is in the app, not in Wine...

If anybody want to try our test app, it can be downloaded from 
www.coopcacec.com.py/dbcooop/. There are some instructions for using that 
program and a new snapshot of the program, too.

Thanks
