KNOWN LIMITATIONS
  • Approach plate map overlay crashes Wine. Displaying approach plates as a map overlay (not the standalone plate browser) triggers a crash in Wine's GDI+ library.This is a Wine bug triggered by the PDF rasterizer used by SkyDemon (TallComponents.PDF.Rasterizer). The upstream fix is in Wine master (commit 7ece436, "gdiplus: Bypass span combination for intersected rects",April 2026) but has not appeared in a release as of Wine 11.7. Workaround: use SkyDemon's built-in plate browser (Charts → Approach Plates) instead of the map overlay. The standalone browser is unaffected. This should be fixed automatically once wine-staging picks up the fix from Wine master, likely in Wine 11.8 or later.

Confirmed fixed with Wine 11.9
