Still happens with wine 1.3.12, using unpatched FF8 "v1.0". fglrx 11.1 Debian Sid.
It has been said before, the issue is the game. The same problems appears on both Windows and Wine. You need to use a workaround, such as this one, http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=7248.0 in order to run the game on modern drivers/hardware.
