I've installed draftSight V1R3.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit using this tutorial 

http://linuxaideddesign.blogspot.it/2012/03/draftsight-and-ubuntu-1204-lts-64bit.html

After installation, DraftSight runs and even appears to open dwg files successfully. The drop-down menus show the correct layers and linetypes from my drawing. 

However, the drawing area doesn't appear to update properly and doesn't show the drawing. Dialog boxes like "Open file" or "Help|About" leave traces behind when dragging and do not close properly. 

In the first screenshot, the drawing area does not update.

In the second screenshot, the dialog leaves trails when I move it with the mouse.

In the third screenshot, the dialog box leaves traces after closing the dialog box.

These screenshots are also at http://www.flickr.com/photos/97219542@N07/sets/72157634854261224/

Can anyone help please?

Thanks.

Regards,

Eleanor
