Unable to click on tools when file is open [Very hacky workaround for crossover 14.0.X included]

Hi, had an issue running Photoshop CS 2 on Crossover 14.0.3 in a fresh bottle.

The bug has been mentioned in the following places:

Can't select menus or toolbars after opening new document [with fix]
Photoshop CS2 stopped working, unable to focus on any tool windows after a new file is created or opened

Both threads show workarounds, but these didn't work for me, as Crossover 14.0.3 seems to be adding the printer line back under the [windows] section.

So, how I fixed this was to do the following:

Open the win.ini file:

vi /home/xxxxxxxx/.cxoffice/Adobe_Photoshop_CS2/drive_c/windows/win.ini

Comment out the printers under [devices], [PrinterPorts], and [windows] using semicolons (;)

Save, and (here comes the hacky part), make the win.ini file read only

chmod 444 /home/xxxxxxxx/.cxoffice/Adobe_Photoshop_CS2/drive_c/windows/win.ini

Hope this gets fixed soon, this kind of workaround feels dirty and wrong 😉
