wine users - Aug 2009 - Windows closing just be mouse movement

Sorry, a bit clueless here:

My father has Quicken 2003 running on Wine (1.01 I believe, but I'm not sure
how to check) with Ubuntu 9.04.  Unfortunately,
I'm "tech support" but my only access is via remote desktop and
ssh and I
don't use wine myself.

Quicken starts fine, but, for example, when he tries to open a report he
will get a new window opened and as soon as he moves his mouse into the
window the window closes.

This sound familiar to anyone?  Any suggestions for debugging?

Can (should?) I try and install the latest development version?

Thanks,

I don't use the app myself, but the one test report in the AppDB for it 
mentions report windows flashing on the screen, then minimizing (not closing).

Yes, you should try the latest development release. 1.0.1 is very old.
