Cannot work with more then two powerpoint windows open

Hi,

Does anyone know if there are a solution to this thread here https://www.codeweavers.com/support/forums/general/?t=26;mhl=152816;msg=129853#msg152816

I am using the trial version of the crossover (14.1.3) with office 2007 enterprise, but I am finding I cannot work with more then one instance of an powerpoint open. As soon as I try to switch to the second instance (tab or clicking on the task bar) it appears to be a small window, and when I try to maximise or drag open the window, the view is messed up,

This is then what it looks like when I drag it open (I cannot maximise it)

Is there a work around for this? I read a thread where someone said they opened separate instances, but that results in the same issue for me.

This is a show stopper for buying really. I need to have two instances open as I often have to copy slides and graphics from one deck to the other.

Hope there is a fix or decent workaround, as everything else works ok.

EDIT: After further investigation <ctrl> <f6> works well (switch windows)

I've seen weird graphics anomalies in Office applications on machines with Intel graphics chips using the Mesa drivers. You can run /opt/cxoffice/bin/cxdiag in a terminal to see what graphics driver/version you have. If it's Intel & Mesa try upgrading to a newer version of Mesa and the graphics issues could disappear.
