Bug #: 29327
           Summary: Severance demo: intense screen flickering
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.34
          Platform: x86
               URL: http://www.fileplanet.com/51710/50000/fileinfo/Blade-o
                    f-Darkness-PC-Demo
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download, regression
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-d3d

    Classification: Unclassified
   Regression SHA1: 0f10ac93580d5a055f0b3f6e7c3d77738135f031

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Install the demo as usual. Launch the game by ..Bin/Winblade.exe. In the
launcher go to Setup and select audio and video devices (you can also adjust
the screen resolution here).
2. Start the demo by clicking on the <Play Demo> button in the launcher. When
the main menu appears you can observe that the menu options are flashing badly.
Start a new game by pressing <Enter> twice, and you can see that the screen is
flickering, flashing between the loading screen and the actual game screen.

The problem appeared in 1.3.34 and is still present as of
wine-1.3.34-202-gb0f704d. 
The result of the regression test:
