Bug Description

Varicad is a CAD software (http://varicad.com/en/home/) with an affordable price that I use the free viewer and was spending some time with the trial. I could made it work perfectly (they provide debs for x32 or x64) on Natty but on Oneiric Ocelot I got some screen corruptions on the color selection widgets (both from viewer and from the CAD tool itself). At first I tough that this could be some kind of setting (varicad use opengl for rendering) and tried every configuration that I could find on GUIs from the program and from the system, also tried to change the version of the proprietary nvidia driver (from 173 to current), reboot, but I was not able to get it work.
Since the hardware is the same and the program runs very well on Natty, I think its a sort of BUG relative to Oneiric (maybe Xorg, maybe some strange setup on xorg.conf, maybe anything else). I had an image attached, on the left is a screenshot from Natty showing things as they should be and on the right the image from Oneiric.
Almost forgot to mention, I tried some other programs like blender and some games and cant notice anything wrong. The problem only happens on varicad, maybe some specific OpenGL command...
By now, I am totally clueless on what should I do to track down this behavior.

Thank you very much for any help.

I can confirm that the new version of this software does not sufer from this problem anymore. The version that trigger the bug was 2011-1.10, the version 2012-1.02 works well.
Since this is the only software that suffers from this bug, maybe this could be closed.

Thanks
