Some applications are "garbled"

Post by jerbear64 »

I am on Arch Linux.

I tried installing Office 2013, but the windows greeted me with "garbled windows." It's hard to explain, so I took a screenshot.

This happens in Photoshop as well, once I attempt to create a new document.
I'm using the recommended versions of WINE for everything, and I've even tried switching around versions. It's the same result every time- these windows.

The output seems to change depending on what background applications I've had open. In Word 2013 the splash screen just transforms itself into a garbled Microsoft Word interface. Photoshop seems to turn itself into a glitched version of whatever I had open beforehand. In the picture I took, though, it turned itself into a garbled Photoshop splash screen.

I'm using the proprietary NVIDIA drivers.

I don't understand what you mean by that. The "recommended" Wine version is always the latest development release, unless there is a known regression (in which case, use the last known good version), or a known bug that is fixed in wine-staging (in which case, use wine-staging).

What window manager/desktop environment are you using, and have you tried disabling desktop effects?

By recommended I meant the version that's shown as successful for those apps in the AppDB. I've also tried the latest development version.

I am using XFCE, and I have window composition disabled.

I should probably also mention that I'm testing Office and Photoshop in their own, clean bottles.
