The same problem is present with the audio player
Foobar2000, same patch regression. From what I
understand, it stems from the fact that in native
Windows BeginPaint/EndPaint are technically not
nessessary, but Wine thinks they are.
I posted a bit of sample code that was given to me by
the guy that wrote Foobar2000 about a month ago (look
for the topic Foobar2000 Audio Player Regression) that
showed some painiting without Begin/End Paint that
works fine on native Windows but not Wine -- looking
at it now... the sample code is missing a final
closing "}", sorry.
Anyway, glad to see Foobar isn't the only program
effected by this.
