There was a major rewrite in ddraw recently to make it use wined3d
(and enable rendering with opengl and other backends besides gdi). As
I understand it, the gdi renderer is supposed to be identical to the
way it used to work, opengl is incomplete, and others do not exist
yet.

It's possible that some programs are using the opengl renderer when
gdi would work better. You can force it to use one or the other by
setting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D\DirectDrawRenderer to
"gdi" or "opengl" in regedit.
