Latest Heidi on Ubuntu 16.04 / Linux Mint 18

Hi,

I have been a long time user of Heidi under wine and apart from a few blips it has mostly run smoothly.

I recently upgraded to Linux Mint 18 (Uses 16.04 as it's base) and now I am getting black boxes instead of the far left and far right buttons and can no longer connect to any of the servers.

Has anyone else experienced this? I assume it is because I am missing some kind of library but wasn't sure which one, logs show nothing!

Tried in both Playonlinux and Vanilla wine 1.8

Any hints would be great :)

Heidi 9.1 seems to work by the way - I just copied over my previous wine drives and it was ok!

So v9.3 does not work and v9.1 does?

Heidi 9.3 was a clean install on a new system, I just copied over my wine directories that contain 9.1 to this new system and it worked flawlessly as before!

Not sure if there are any libraries needed for wine to work with Heidi?

No additional libraries are required on Wine.

I recall there was an older Wine bug which also made black buttons/icons, but this was fixed some years ago. See this older thread.

Yeah I saw those, but this is the latest stable wine version 1.8 so a bit confused, anyway I hope the 9.1 fix works for others in this situation!
