Hi:
   today we managed to crash Windows 2k Professional
using Tree Control. By mistake we put the
Dialog.UpdateList(tree) in the main program loop,
such that the tree control was updated about 10 times/second.
After maybe 1/2 hour Windows went into the weird state
where the display was corrupted and the buttons after
being pressed moved to a random location on screen.
Not just BlackBox buttons, also the Windows "Start"
button suddenly got misplaced into the upper-left
screen corner. The ctrl-alt-del did not work
and we had to hard reboot the machine.

Did anybody noticed such behavior before? I am afraid
to try again because the result is catastrophic.
I just want to know if this is a known problem.

Thank you,

Wojtek Skulski skulski{([at]})nowhere.xy
