I began experiencing this after WINE 1.2 was updating. On the artifacts around the cell I can scroll down then back up and it disappears, only to reappear after entering more data. Before 1.2 I didn't experience this, and Office ran nearly perfectly. I don't have any overrides set because I've never needed to. Since experiencing this I've wiped my .wine directory (and .winetricks) and reinstalled wine and office. Any ideas? Overrides? Thanks! System info: Arch Linux x86_64 bin32-wine-suse 1.3.0-1 winetricks packages (that I see via history |grep winetricks): corefonts tahoma vcrun2005sp1 wsh56js d3dX9 Other windows programs installed: Starcraft Powerpoint Word Other Office dependencies for above programs.

I'm not seeing any artifacts here in 1.3.0.> winetricks packages (that I see via history |grep winetricks): > corefonts tahoma vcrun2005sp1 wsh56js d3dX9Reinstall in a a clean wineprefix with no winetricks. After installing, set riched20 to native and usp10 to native, builtin. Just set the overrides--Office installs its own version of those dlls, so there's no need to use winetricks. You can install allfonts and wsh56js with winetricks. Don't install any other winetricks.

Guess it's a graphics driver bug.Which version of the drivers are you using? Catalyst 10.7 has been reported to have problems with Wine. Can you try version 10.5? James McKenzie

I mentioned the desktop with the 4870X2 just to say that it works fine on it. I'm using the proprietary 10.7 with bin32-wine-suse 1.3.0-1 and it doesn't have any corruption whatsoever.

That's one of the reasons I prefer Arch on my personal systems....building from a minimal setup usually minimizes the number of random bugs. One thing that I can't seem to get is assigning an icon to Excel, Powerpoint, etc. via KDE's menu editor. I've done this easily in the past but it won't stick for some reason (only on my desktop.)

It's right on the strip and even crosses water.) Actually, I would AM surprised that Intel video chips work with Linux AT ALL. I was involved with a now 'defunct' desktop operating system in the early 1990s and Intel actually makes ATI look bad for the level of support they provided. Towards the end of its existance, however, ATI was THE brand to buy for that OS. Now, it appears that nVidia is THE brand to buy, if you can, for the best Linux experience. James McKenzie
