Can you send the xdpyinfo output for the boxes?

This is fairly new code so it might be a bug in that.

Here's a vague guess:

The application does something with text documents.  It might look up some
information about some fonts.  Wine might in turn use Render to an
off-screen pixmap or prepare to use a font or whatever.  This then goes
wrong.  4.3.0 contains updates to the RENDER extension in the server over
4.2.0.  It also has updates in the client side library.  You might also
have different fonts installed on the two systems.

An idea would be to disable the RENDER extension in /etc/XF86Config,
restart the X server, and try again.
