This problem appears in Linux with Wine 1.4 and in Mac with CrossoverMac 11. On Mac changing from Crossover Mac to WineBottler solved the problem because WineBottler uses an older version of Wine. But WineBottler does not work correctly on Mountain Lion and Lion.

Users who need the Windows rendering can get it by running under Parallels or Virtual PC or a similar environment.
