Ah, my bad. I fudged the link. It has been corrected.

I don't see this in 493, but I do in 494.1127. Which makes sense because there was a change to the drawing code. Are you certain your original report is correct?
I realize now that I chose 493 for the report, but that's because 494 wasn't available as a selection and it didn't occur to me that I was using the beta version. I had someone else test the Windows 7 version as well, though I'm not sure whether he was using the beta or not. It was four in the morning so it just slipped our minds. I cannot check to see which version I am with my Windows 7 laptop at home, though I'm pretty sure I updated to the beta last week. When I get home, I'll double check.
Okay, thanks. I just want to confirm this is 494 after all; I have a fix for what I found, but if the issue occurs in 493 I'll need to take a further look.
I just downgraded and checked here. It doesn't occur in 493.
I can confirm that this bug is present in 494 and not in 493 as well.
