[Bug 11734] New: App creates popups but fails to write expected text

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11734

Summary: App creates popups but fails to write expected text
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.55.
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://wxtide32.com/
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Under Windows, WXTide32 creates at least three popup windows with text in them.
 Under Wine, the popups are created in the appropriate places on the screen,
but the contents of the popups is always blank.  The sizes are consistent with
their Windows equivalents and both have pale, white, or gray backgrounds.  It
is the contents of the popups that is the problem.

Tide station map popup: this popup should contain the name of the tide (or
current ) station closest to the cursor, when it passes over indicated tidal
stations on a world map.  The names are extracted from a database of tide
stations and are shown in a scrolling window created as part of the tidal
station selecton process.  That is, the names are known to the app.  They are
not shown in the popup.

Tide status popup: left-clicking on the main window's tide graph in graph, or
realtime format, in any one spot, should produce a statement of date, time, and
tide level information in a popup.  It does not.

Tide prediction time popup: under the realtime format, it's possible to create
two intersecting lines (a horizontal line at some tide level and a vertical
line at some time of day, respectively, intersecting at the tide level point
for a given date and time, and bounded by the inside of the window frame).  A
popup with the time of day is attached at the top of the vertical line, with
the popup's left vertical side directly adjacent to the vertical line and the
top, horizontal side flush with the inside of the window frame.  The popup is
drawn, its contents are not.

Bug 11562 and Bug 11714 report, respectively, the Tide status popup and Tide
station map popup bugs separately.  However, it's highly likely that all three
popup failures point to a common bug or shortcoming in Wine and, therefore, it
may be more productive to treat the three popups as instances of a class of
problems instead of distinct, separate problems.
