It's so strange of a issue it just might be a cpu cycling issue? :-?

Ho ho. It uses the CPU, so could the CPU be the culprit? :)

You'd think.

I am getting it in the skinned version also. And that uses the shell which is why I am looking at the background of the shell as the culprit. Its got to be some where out of the normal or rusty and the others would have found it by now 3 yrs later. 8)

The failure is in MM. Not seen in the Windows shell.

Could be a little harder than it looks. ? I'm wondering if it is the unselected font color of the windows shell that is at fault. ?

Five years on, still present. MM 1708:

Win 7:

The fact I find it on every machine makes surprising the reports here that it cannot be reproduced.

Good news - thanks.

I think the Tree is not a default I.e. standard windows control.

Non-skinned version is really non-skinned (not a skinned with windows theme). Skinning engine isn't implemented in this exe (so it uses default windows controls).

I never knew :( Thanks for that bad news RC :)

Meaning these little UI problems such as label cropping, missing buttons and focus loss can crop up independently on every different skin??

Even though I am using the non-skinned .exe? I was hoping my choice there had eliminated skinning artifacts interfering with testing.
but chrisjj you forget. its not really unskinned. it has the skin in the exe and is set by the devleopers so there is a skin in the unskinned version its just a unskinned, skin, version. so some things from the skin engine might mess with the un skinned version skin. but us skinners can not change anything on the unskinned versions skin.

i can't reproduce this in mm 3.0.3 but i did say elsewhere in another post about the same thing.
i have seen this before in windows explorer and IE or any app that used the explorer shell.

but i know it was corrected in the Xp SP 3 update i have not seen it since.

so rusty are you and petrcbr sure it is in the skin engine or is it just that chrisjj still can't update to sp3 because i think of some hardware issues he said he had with his system. :-?
