Odd font rendering with text cursor out of position

[rgrizzell]

Describe the bug
Fonts appear to be rendering too small. The text cursor is out of position. This has no functional impact as text can be modified as normal. However it is a visual bug that might be confusing and frustrating for users trying to modify existing text.

This bug is NOT an issue with the Snap package, however a workaround can be applied to the Snap to fix this bug. See additional context below.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Launch Winbox

Expected behavior
The text cursor should be at the end of the string of characters.

Additional context

I was able to fix this issue by applying a registry key to a WINEPREFIX outside of the Snap.

Here's the workaround I used to achieve my results.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver]
"ClientSideWithRender"="N"

Слава Україні! The same issue here, it makes me mad. I used winetricks to configure some parameters of my local wineprefix (not Snap package), probably I installed some fonts. And now I can run Winbox with my Wine which looks nice. Also, just disabling window decorations may fix this issue.

Here's how weird the issue looks like when using wine from Snap.

For me, this got resolved after I increased the DPI from 96 to 132. But I like 150 DPI, as the GUI is more readable.
To do this within the snap, I had to make couple of changes to snapcraft.yaml, to enable the running of winecfg.
The end result is:

1. Run command
   winbox.wine winecfg

2. Run command
winbox

and then to the better readable main window!. [Click on the picture to see image at actual size]
