SYMPTOMS
========

The Control Panel Color Scheme dialog box is not repainted properly if it is
overlapped by another window when the Color Palette button is chosen. The
following steps illustrate this problem:

1. Run the Control Panel and choose the Colors icon.

2. Overlap the Colors window with another application's window (Notepad, for
  example), leaving the Color Palette button visible.

3. Choose the Color Palette button.

The resulting dialog box has a blank section where the window was overlapping.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version 3.0. This
problem was corrected in later versions of Windows.
