Screenshot of normal text and a form

I am running PC-BSD V1.5.1 and used the latest PBI update to update Wine from
the 1.0 series to 1.1.0 and all appeared to go OK. I have been using Wine since
the 0.9.x series to do my Taxes with a Windows version of TaxAct and it has
worked fine with the exception of a couple of minor problems.

After doing the update I ran up TaxAct and the first screen appeared normal.
All the text looked as it has all along. However, when I open up a form to
display the fonts appear to be grossly enlarged and the form is completely
unreadable. If I tab to an entry box that appears to be normal but any values
entered become unreadable when I tab away from it.

Attached are two screen shots, one of the text screen and the other of a form.
Please contact me if you need any additional information.

Does it happen with the freely downloadable version as well? I don't remember
it having problems when I tried it during tax season.

This problem started with the recent Wine 1.1 release which is the latest in
use with PC-BSD as a PBI. The problem did not occur with any of the previous
versions I used in the 0.9.x through 1.0.x series.

If it is a regression, please do a regression test:

This is a new bug that was introduced in the 1.1 update. I never had this
problem before then.

If it used to work, but does not work anymore, that's a regression.

Now, you need to give the wrong commit to help the developpers to fix the bug.

I misunderstood you then. To me regress means to return to a previous behavior
and since it had not previously behaved in this manner I did not understand
you.

Huh? Please explain as I do not understand what you mean by "wrong commit".

He means the 'bad' commit, the commit that broke this app for you.

Bear with me as I have not used this bug reporting system before. Other than
the version that broke the program for me and screen shots what else do I need
to do?

Run the regression test.  The link is in comment #3.

Thanks for the info. This could be a bit of a problem since I am using PC-BSD
and not Linux. There looks to be enough differences to make this a bit beyond
my capabilities these days. It has been a long time since I have been into this
stuff. I think i will just wait and hope the problem gets resolved down the
line. Thanks to all of you who have replied.

I tried the downloadable version. The font looks good for me (it seems that
some text is misplaced though). Can you remove your .wine folder, reinstall the
software and try again?

I will give that a try tomorrow if I get a chance.
