Screenshot showing menu corruption

The Menus in PDF-XChange Viewer 2.0 (Build 41.5) get corrupted when I move the
mouse over them (see attached PNG). This happens with the menus at the top of
the window (File, Edit etc.) and with context menus. Some entries become
garbled, some disappear altogether. Everything is still functional though.

Wine 1.1.21, Ubuntu 9.04 i686.

I have the same problem. 
I tried different wine versions (for instance 1.0.1), but no improvement. I
also tried older versions of this app (portable versions 2.0.40.5, and
2.0.40.7). Problem still exists.

It does not happen here using the free trial version downloaded from
http://www.docu-track.com/downloads/users/

Perhaps this is some symptom of a faulty display driver?

It might the display driver. I'm one of those poor Intel graphics re-factoring
victims. I have a 945 chipset and currently use the (old) 2.4 driver because of
problems with the new one.

In fact I just realized that there are similar problems with other applications
too. I see similar screen corruption with Portable Firefox, but it is not
persistent: after a split second, everything is back to normal.

However, I get these problems only with Wine. All native applications run
without problems.

The idea of display drivers being responsible makes sense. I saw some rendering
glitches with other applications, as well. However, as they are not as severely
affected as PDF Xchange, I did not look into this more closely before.

I am currently using xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.6.3-0ubuntu9, my graphics
card is Intel 4500MHD. I often see smaller rendering problems, for instance if
used in Dual Screen mode (for example, in many cases when a window on top of
another window is closed, the refresh of the menu/tool bar in the lower window
does not happen until it is resized, etc.). This even happens in KDE
applications like Okular.

So very likely, the problem described here IS a display driver issue.

I was able to fix the problem on my machine (DELL Latitude E6400, Intel 4500MHD
graphics on Kubuntu Jaunty). I got it there by playing a bit with the xorg.conf
options. Currently, I am using the following: 
    Option "DPMS"
    Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
    Option "ExaNoComposite" "false"
    Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
Now, the menus look great. I haven't encountered any other rendering glitches,
yet.

Solution:

Wine has a bug with colors in apps per this page:
http://wiki.winehq.org/256ColorsWorkarounds

I used the workaround of installing Xephyr on my Ubuntu system via Synaptic.
Then I used the following command to start a window with PDF-Xchange Viewer
running in the correct colors, with no more fading or rendering problems:

# first cd to the director containing the PDFXCview.exe file, then I ran:
Xephyr :1 -ac -screen 1024x768x256 & DISPLAY=:1 wine PDFXCview.exe

This gave me a 1024x768x256 window. I had to go into wineconfig, and under the
graphics tab unchecked the options for allowing the window manager to control
and decorate the windows. This allowed me to maximize the program inside the
nested window once running.

Looks gorgeous now. Running it in the Xephyr nested window made a huge
difference.

Problem with my solution above - copy/paste does not work between a nested
Xephyr window and the clipboard running in X - there is no way I can find to
copy/paste between PDFXCview running in Xephyr and my other programs running
natively in Linux.

As a solution, I tried using xnest and xinit from the following page, but no
success:
http://wiki.winehq.org/256ColorsWorkarounds

At last, I tried the final solution on the page, running PDFXCview in a new
display via vnc. It worked, with copy/paste. Colors were limited to 32bit via
vnc, and I found it running too slow at 32bit so I dropped it back to 16bit.
Overall its running better visually and with copy/paste functionality between
windows.

To do this, I added vnc4server and xvnc4viewer via Synaptic in Ubuntu. I used
the following command to get a 1280x800 window running in maximum (for vnc)
color of 16 bit:
vnc4server :2 -cc 3 -depth 16 -geometry 1280x800 -localhost

Then I ran:
xvnc4viewer :2

This brought up a window with a terminal. From there, I changed to the
PDFXCview directory, and used:
wine PDFXCview.exe

After I stopped the vnc window, I needed to run the following command to stop
the vnc4server:

vnc4server -kill :2

As far as I could tell at first glance, everything is working under vnc. I was
able to open a document, add some comments, save and close. I was also able to
do a directory search, and open various documents from the search window. It
was quite zippy running at 16 bit, and there was no noticeable degredation of
color or layout.

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 8
months. Is this still an issue in current (1.1.40 or newer) wine?

1.5 years, no response, no download => abandoned.
