you're probably going to have to track down a fix for this yourself ... no gentoo dev that i know of actually owns crossover office, the ebuild has been mostly user driven

[Comment 2 Barry Salter 2005-03-19 08:50:23 UTC]

Commercial software. Recommended "fix" from Codeweavers (the publishers) being to upgrade to a newer version (at extra cost).
