It's good to know that at least something was done that's likely to fix 
the problem, but my mind will only be at rest when I can find a machine 
where my game shows the problem, but not when compiled with the latest beta.

Unless such a machine can be found, I'll just hope that it's fixed, and 
place a warning in my docs to run in windowed mode if the problem occurs.
