Console log of Crash with Corel Presentations 12

Application crashes in strlen in libc.so.6 called from DrawTextA in user32
whenever an attempt is made to change settings from the UI.

Start application, select Tools from the menu bar,  Select Settings... at the
bottom of the menu.  This presents a pop-up with several choices: Display,
Environment, File and Customize.  Select any of these by clicking on the left
mouse button will crash the application.

Crash occurs with Corel Presentations versions 9, 11 and 12 but not with 13, so
sorry, no free trial download available.

Host system is Kubuntu 8.04 x86, Linux 2.6.24-19.  The libc6 package is
2.7-10ubuntu3.

Please run with a version of wine that has debugging symbols so we can see a
proper backtrace.

I am new to this.  Are you asking me to compile wine from source ?

Yes, if you compile your own copy of wine, (no need to install, run directly
from source tree) it will give you more debugging information. You may want to
grab all the build dependencies with: apt-get build-dep wine

Crash Backtrace from Wine 1.1.1 built from source

I hope this log is what you were asking for and that it tells you something. 
Let me know what you would like me to do next.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.13 or newer) wine?

No.  Sadly, this issue is going to take longer than six months to fix itself.

Please attach another trace:
WINEDEBUG=+tid,+relay,+text

for 1.1.13 (or current source tree) as you did before (a couple of thousand
lines before crash to catch where wrong string pointer coming from).

Created an attachment (id=19151)

Crash traceback, Wine 1.1.14, WINEDEBUG=+tid,+relay,+text

Thanks for taking an interest.  Any help finding the root cause of this one
would be appreciated.  I attach the log you ask for (I hope).  This was
generated again Wine 1.1.14.  I fear it will not tell you very much.

My reading of this is that the crash comes from a bum string pointer (value
0x6261) being a passed to strlen() by DrawTextA(), which has been passed the
pointer by the application.  The magic value 0x6261 appears nowhere else in the
trace.  The previous call to DrawTextA() has the same parameter values expect
for the string address.  There the address 0x0. Benign but hardly purposeful. 
This suggests to me that we are seeing the consequences of an earlier
corruption of memory.  I don't know how to start looking for this kind of
problem under Wine.

I can tell you that this crash is merely an easy to reproduce example of a
general malaise affecting this particular application.  It seems many (if not
all) pop-up windows that present a series of tabs will crash.  I've have them
crash without displaying anything, I've had then crash after displaying just
the first tab, I've had them crash after display gibberish (non-latin text) in
the tab labels and I've even had them crash when everything looks OK.

This particular example is a common (suite wide) settings dialogue. 
WordPerfect does not crash, Presentations does crash.  The dialogue looks the
same (common code ?).

If this is corruption, it is not ramdon.  The magic 0x6261 turns up in another
trace I have - different version of the application, different version of Wine,
different host machine, different Linux distribution etc. etc.

Is any affected version available (and installable) somewhere? I'd like to try
it.

No response in over 6 months, marking abandoned. If this is still an issue in
current (1.2-rc1 or newer) wine, and you can provide the needed information,
feel free to reopen.
