Summary: Extremely slow character rendering in all apps over freenx Product: Wine Version: 1.1.12 Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: kkant@xmission.com
Wine 1.1.12 on Fedora 10 x64 renders fonts/characters extremely slowly when operating over a remote freenx session. This affects all apps, including winecfg. Each character is rendered pixel by pixel in an agonizingly slow manner; it makes me think that raw bitmaps are being sent over the freenx link, rather than character data with a fontname. The symptoms appear anywhere text is rendered in an app: menus, text fields, lists, etc etc etc. The bug can be confirmed by running winecfg.
I experienced this bug with Wine 1.1.12, Freenx server 0.7.3 (the latest version in the Fedora repository as of Jan 22 2009), and the NoMachine nx client for windows v3.3.0-3 (downloadable from nomachine.com).
This is a new bug in 1.1.12 that did not exist in the previous Wine version I was using (1.1.9). I reproduced this bug several times after removing my ~/.wine folder and reinstalling 1.1.12. I reconfirmed that the older version 1.1.9 does NOT have this bug by removing version 1.1.12, removing the ~/.wine folder, and reinstalling version 1.1.9.
