SU under Wine
-
Are there any solutions for these two problems when using SU under wine? (wine-1.6 and Explorer installed: "winetricks ie8")

SketchUp 2013 changed over to a non-standard tooltip technology. No wonder if problems occur with such non-standard bricolage.
Work-around 1 → disable toolbar tooltips in the Customize Toolbars dialog
Work-around 2 → install SketchUp 8The script error is a general error that appears more or less arbitrarily or randomly in Internet Explorer (on Windows as well). These script errors even appear when the script on the webpage does not contain an error. We usually recommend clearing the browser cache etc. (which is easy to say as a Firefox user, but recently I also got one in Wine that does not go away). Often it's a matter of time, another Wine update and things behave a bit differently.

What are the downsides of work-around 2? (The tooltips are pretty helpful for plugins I don't use every day.)

SketchUp 8 has the same features, except that there is no icon in the tooltips (and because of this the tooltips work). Apart from that, SU8 needs a plugin to customize toolbars, and you need to open Extension Warehouse in a browser instead of inside SketchUp.

Just for the record: I reinstalled SU 2013 and directly after installing (before running SU at all) I ran "winetricks ie8" and now the overall GUI experience is better. Don't know whether that makes a difference or the fact that I had SU 8 installed between the installations, but, well, it is better now... Magic Winedows...
