Hello:

Think this tread has lots of conflicting info.

What I see is this:
Linux Devuan Daedalus+Wine-8+Pegasus Mail 4.73 -> works
Linux Devuan Daedalus+Wine-8+Pegasus Mail 4.80 -> does not work
Linux Devuan Daedalus+Wine-8+Pegasus Mail 4.81 -> does not work
Linux Devuan Daedalus+Wine-8+Pegasus Mail 4.91 -> does not work
*Debian 8.0~repack-4 from the Devuan Linux repositories

Don't know anything of this release of Linux or why it is showing Wine-8?

Wine is at version 11 not 8.

I tried the steps listed in Bug report and I see text just fine.
Fedora 44 currently running Wine 11.22 development, but also works with the 11 stable.
rpm -qa | grep wine

winehq-devel-11.22-1.1.x86_64

So, don't know exactly what wine is suppose to do. If this release is locked in a 3 major versions old release of wine.

I get

uname -a
Linux setzcodell.dyndns.org 7.3.4-200.fc44.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Nov 10 22:45:35 UTC 2026 x86_64 GNU/Linux

What does the distro with the problem showing?

What is the CPU.

Fedora uses dnf5 is this distro use apt or other package manager.
Have done some bugzilla reports and the issues were resolved, but don't see enough info to see exactly what the issue falls under.

Good Luck.

Hello:

Best,

Guess you are much smarter than me. Seems the locked in Wine8 for some reason, though the newer wine can be installed, but it then breaks whatever reason the locked at wine 8? So, good luck, but I don't think winehq will bother even looking at it. If you come out with solution would be interested.

Works perfectly on my system.

No surprise since our resident Alzheimer case rushed to tell them there is actually no problem at all.

Hello:

blocker     [Blocks development] and/or testing work
critical    Critical problem that [prevents all applications] from working
major       Major loss of functionality for a [wide range of applications]
normal      For an [application] crash or [loss of functionality]   ### <- this

I would think that our problem fits the WineHQ's 'normal' definition.
ie: does not affect any application (that we know of) other than Pegasus Mail from v4.80 onwards.
The good news is that it has been looked at and that all the information needed for them to understand what is going on is there.

Best,

S.
